I love the fact that you mention the salary amount...
Lol it's very important in RSA
😂
Hey man this was really interesting to watch! Keep up the great work, looking forward to more 🙌🏽
Thank you!!
Yep, I'm sold! Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment here I come :)
Thank you so much for this candid and informative video.
It would be cool to see a "Day in my life" type video.
Thanks once again for sharing :)
A day in the life would be boring cause I work from Home. But I should do that lol
Watching this as a 1st year Data Science major at UKZN, interesting video, definitely the kind that will motivate me when I feel lazy to pick up my books and study😅
hey , im in grade 11 im doing i.t at school as one of my subjects and i want to apply for data science and considering other options but may you please tell me how much points are needed to apply in UKZN
@@shiluvangobeni9178 Hey, at UKZN you need a minimum of 30 points for most BSc degrees including Data Science.
I’m glad I found your channel. Very informative, thank you! 👌🏽
Broh you deserve 1 million followers 💯🙌🙌😊
Props Neo! Tell all literally 🙌🏾
I have an interest in computer science and wouldn't mind doing it once am done with my Economics degree
It’s better to do a degree in Computer science than data science as far as I understand data science is honours/masters level after you have a computer science degree
Awesome video bro! Please increase the sound next time
Love the vibe man. You sound so hyped🔥🙌
Thanks so much for the transparency.
This is really insightful.
I'm helping my younger brother who's in matric pick a course. He's interested in IT/Software engineering but also has an interest in finance/business
BSc Computer Science - Data Science Stream
Mathematics statistics stream is also good if he's interested in Financial Engineering/Computational Finance
Thank-you so much for this video bro
This is motivating thank you Mr❤️🎉
I love the transparency. 🙂❤
Great content bro but I'm struggling to hear do to low sound I had to put my volume on max. Otherwise good video
Perhaps try another device. I didn’t have any volume issues.
I agree with Bonga, I also didn’t have any issues
I love this video, very informative.. only thing i could complain about is the audio, very low.
Thanks man, I will improve on this in the next one
R32K CTC for an engineer that's crazy, electricians earn way more than that in most places. You have a vast experience though. I believe to earn the most money is by become an automation/control systems engineer where you program PLCs or robots in the entry level. Being a data scientist sounds cool though.
Thats true but this was R32k p.m in 2015. Lol check the fuel price in 2015 then you will understand the context of that salary.
The best video i've watched in a while, i'm going to follow you on Linkedin.
Next I'll be talking about how much I earned as an investment banker
Hi Unathi, I really hope you'll see and answer this. I'm currently stuck between choosing between two choices, a learnership focusing on Software Engineering & one focusing on Data Engineering. I think I fall mostly into the Data Engineering as I was generally very good in anything Data related more than Software. My qualification btw is a Dip in Information Technology in Software Development.
1. Will I be able to reach this goal without furthering my studies?
2. Will getting the required or rather the suited certificates for this stream be enough?
Lastly, I heard you speak about wanting to be under the financial world, & seeing that I also want that too, would you mind giving me tips & any advice on that? More specially on ways to be different in my interviews(first interview ever) in convincing them I'm capable? Shuuu I hope you'll see this.
I'm stuck between architecture and computer science. Every time I lean to computer science my brain tells me architecture is the right choice cause we going to need architects in the future, but every time I lean to architecture I see videos of how computer science(software engineer) is the future . Now I don't know any more must I do architecture first the computer science or the other way around
Honestly bro only you can make that decision for yourself but if you going to make your decision purely based on statistics then just know that the number of Architecture Jobs in SA are shrinking while Jobs in Needing a computer science degree are increasing at a rapid pace with more demand than supply.
@@unathimatu Uh, I wouldn't make the decision based on what I THINK is "future" and what other people think. Remember you've got to do that job day after day after day. Sooner or later if it's not what you want to do you're going to feel miserable and want to move onto what you want to do. When I was doing jobs I didn't care about I would take a pay cut to do something I enjoyed
IM CURRENTLY A FIRST STUDENT AT UJ DOING BENG'TECH IN ELETRICAL ENGINEERING, WOULD YOU ADVICE ME TO CONTINUE WITH IT OR SWITCH TO BENG?
Well its totally up to what you want to achieve. BEng Tech is very new and SA might not have demand for it Yet. So if I was you I would just change.
Go for BENG if it's possible!
I like your energy ❤
I'm worried, got a scholarship kinda thing with ALX & chose software engineering. 25k after years of experience? 😤😂
Very informative video.
I love this video!!!!!
Hi Unathi... Do software engineers make more money than Bsc business I. T guys, A. K. A bsc information systems or bsc informatics guys?(Please beware im not referring to the Bcom information systems, but rather the Bsc information systems!?) ..further more does your software engineering career only entail working with programs day and night, be it testing them, or programming them, etc? Cant i work on something else in IT with the degree, eg., like networking or cyber security,etc... meaning in software eng. I just deal with softwares all day all night!?
You are comparing degrees with careers
Hi Unathi. Firstly, thank you for sharing and inspiring us.
I would really like a career in data science in the shortest possible time because my age and educational background will not allow for me to start with a degree.
I'm thinking of starting off with electrical engineering N1 - N3 and from there doing a one year course on data science like the one you mentioned. Please share your thoughts on this.
Thanks
Hi there...
I highly recommend ALX
It's a fully funded opportunity to learn Software Engineering, anything data related for Young Africans... There are no academic requirements. Infact the only requirements are that you are proficient in English and that you have a laptop and good internet connection.
@@senamisosibanda7624 Thank you, highly appreciated.
We'd love to see your house :~ in the next vid.
My house?? Kwaa relax dude
@@unathimatu 🤣🤣
Hi, how should I get in touch with people in the area of software engineering remotely in order to have an exchange of information and Ideas? Best Regards, Omid from Germany
Thanks bro♡
You are very likable
Is Computer Systems Engineering A Good Foundation Too??
Hey, how much does a electronic in engineer with BEng honours earn?
Hiiii Unathi. I have just completed my degree in BSc Biological Sciences. I want to migrate into Data Sciences. I enrolled for a Software engineering course at ALX 2023. Let me know what you think, if I can get into data science this way, the kind of jobs I might land entry level. I'd appreciate the help!
thanks for sharing your journey with us. Is it a good idea for me to switch from diploma in ICT in communication Networks to BSC in computer science and electronics? I'm already accepted for next year.
I hope you understand that the level of work you will be subjected to in that BSc. Just make sure you are ready.
Awesome thank you
Got your self a new subscriber
Do you have info about the types of jobs I can get with Bioinformatics phd?
Investment banking 👀 I just finished matric this year and I'm looking to get into investment banking one day. I would really appreciate a video on it
Ahhh yes, I will be doing a video about finance Jobs and their expected salaries. Hopefully going to post by Monday
@@unathimatu I bought a financial analyst course about a month ago, I started with it this December and it goes through some accounting fundamentals and it's an introduction into financial modelling. If you know of any online learning material that could help to get more accustomed with the Investment banking space, please share that would really help
Thanks for the video, it's really helps to know what other people are earning so that you can better gauge whether you being sell short at your company or not.
Nice 👆🏾 hope you’re doing well. Anyway I’m (non South African)starting my masters in engineering management, bachelors (chemical engineering). I’ve plans moving to South Africa after here( china) and I’m worried about jobs, any advise ?
You must get your qualifications accredited when you come back.
The South African job market disfavours foreign graduates. You will make a mistake when coming back after graduating elsewhere. Try obtaining a job in the country you obtained tenure.
Hey man, this is a very good video. Where does one get the music in your background ? It really promotes focus greatly.
I’m doing Computer Science and want to be able to tap into the tech and finance space. I’ve come to learn how these spaces overlap but the specific fields are what I wanna get a solid understanding on.
Quantitative analysts and cybersecurity analysts, do you have adequate info on those fields? Also can I have more info on vac work in either finance or tech.
Awesome man, I’m happy that you enjoyed the Video. So the music can be found on epidemicsounds.com lol ironic I know.
With regards to Being a Quant, I can certainly tell you that you on the right path but you will need to couple your CS degree with a Finance master’s if you want to accelerate your career. I recommend looking into UCTs MPhil in Mathematical Finance degree as an option its 1 year degree but after obtaining it you can certainly call yourself a Quant or even go directly into investment banking. Its an amazing Degree unfortunately you need a certain grade in your honours to qualify for it.
I will be making a video on my finance journey in the next couple of weeks and will be interviewing my Boss 😫 as well.
@@unathimatu I always wondered how I could make it work, it makes sense now.
Thank you so much man, great content and energy💡
Thank you so much for the video. What did you study?
BEng and MEng electrical and electric
Cousera you adit the course and enrol just to write your tests if you pass u get prof cert.
what did you start and at which institution?🙂
It might be me but your sound is a little off in this one, please do what you were doing before
Hi Unathi,
Thanks for the insight and great show.
I wanted to find out the following;
Is it viable to do a BSC Informatics if you've already got a BCOM informatics?
Alternatively is better to bridge the gap between the two qualifications with additional courses in programming etc to get on par with a BSC Informatics?
It all depends on what you want to do. But if you want to get into finance then continue with a specialised Honours then Masters but if you want anything in software engineering then it might be of benefit to take extra classes in Maths and Computer Science to get to a BSc
I really want to be a data scientist and I don’t know if it’s going to be a good fit for me …but I’m stuck with either cs or electrical engineering…
I want a cs degree then further upgrade to honours in data science.
What’s your take on this and I want something that will give me profit a lot
Profit is only made when you have a business
If im doing a bsc mathematics degree.do you think i can do computer science? Like at postgrad level.becoz i saw alot of comp sc modules in the degree
Is a MCA fine masters in computer application
But starting looking for work with Bca hons
At a private college
Will you be disadvantaged
For data science and software engineering
No, usually they look for people that can do the Job and have demonstrated their ability in the field
Studying Mathematical Statistics and hoping to be a data scientist but I don't want to do masters
Then don't...😅
You will have a tougher time self learning the proper methods, but it's doable!!
Hi bro, I'd like to know how you beat the ATS 😂😅😢
Why are the graduation stats for computer science so low?
Thats an easy question, Computer Science Is HARD DUDE. Math and Logic concentrated in every module.
Hi Unathi, firstly thanks for the inspiration so I wanted to know so am stuck between choosing on taking data science, robotics, security and network engineering, software engineering and computer science and to be honest I don’t know what to choose because I only know mathematics and never really grew up with a laptop or computer because of my background at home. I firstly wanted to be an actuary but things turned the other way, so if you were to choose which would you advise because I did my research and I need to get feedback on someone who is well rounded when it comes to information technology.
Please do reply
Bro, this is such a heavy question. It all has to do with your goals. Where do you wanna work, and what exactly do you see yourself doing on a daily basis. Once you can answer that, it's easy to choose a path.
Thanks and btw I choose data science I think managing people is the way. Thanks anyways big bro
How do I become a data center technician?
Where did u study ur software Engineer.
with all respect, how old are you now?
Was 29 at the time filming that vid
Nice!!!
Where's the investment banking video?
Hahaha no hello Unathi how are you? Straight to demanding content hahahaha
Hey...do you think Bsc mechanical engineering is a demand here in SA
Nope
Well thats not true, it just needs you to have a masters cause you need to specialise
Only for mechanical or all engineering?
Nice video
Thank you so much
....can a software developer become a software engineer
Developer and Engineer are just labels in South Africa
They basically do the same thing..but only in SA. In Europe and the US Dev and Engineer means totally different things
@@unathimatu can u do a video on cyber security video
Or can u become a cyber security engineer in sa and how
@@v-hypertopic7757
Yes please
Yeah working for Microsoft even in South Africa pays better than Uber
Would u recommend doing a degree in data science
i also want to know hey
Definitely, some of the highest paying, especially in banks.
I would if it was a masters degree, not a nano degree or a 1 year course.
@@unathimatu so a degree is not enough to secure a job in Data Science?
@@tiisetsoseipobi6629 lol a degree is definitely enough, you can further your studies as you work your way up.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
i need some one to do up my CV lol
Where did you do your undergraduate?
UJ
Hey UNathi.
Would you recommend for someone to do PGDip in Data Science offered at Wits?
I'm thinking of switching courses but I just don't have enough knowledge.
What is your goal?
I am a new CS student and I am interested in Cybersecurity.
That’s awesome, consider working for a bank 🏦…money is plentiful there
Which varsity??
@@ilogicCeeJr Next topic , going deep into which Uni is best
@@unathimatu best for?
I want to go in banking,I did BCom Informatics
Which university did you go to?
Undergrad UJ and Post grad UCT bro
what was your major in university? Does this have job stability or are you always called for short term?please assist
Hey, so I did a BEng in Electrical and Electronics and those were my majors. There is amazing Job stability as well opportunities cause I was exposed to most of the fields in electrical and electronics engineering
@@unathimatu Oh okay thank you does majoring in computer science limit the types of jobs you can do? You can study computer science and be a software engineer right?
@@floweryvanilla1064 yeah you can. In majority of comp sci courses at university there is a software engineering module available
@@ryantockers8431 ohh okay thank you so much i guess im definitely choosing this degree
@@floweryvanilla1064 where you looking at going? I'm going to be doing computer science in 2023. Just gotta get through matric
Please be my mentor 🙏
Eish, now you can't go to family gatherings without being asked to finances the event cos everyone knows how much you are earning 😂 nice video mate..
Hahahahaha thats why I mize
Is this Available in Namibia...
What is?
@@unathimatusorry, I wanted to know that, are we having alot of companies here in Africa that requires software engineers ?
@@donttrusttheworldchangewor8911 mainly in SA, Kenya and Morocco and Egypt the rest of the continent I don't know
Mataka!!
"so yes, I did work for Eskom.. urgh🙄"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love you
hey unathi which university did you go to ?
UJ n UCT
Learn speaking louder😂.!
You didnt Sound Like You Enjoyed Working at Eskom😂😭😭
I didn't
Thank you. You made it so clear
