Increased selling of paid courses

This post is not to hate on free YouTubers who are providing important information and clarity on coding and required skills which our Indian colleges lack but required by industry.

But seeing everyone jumping into making courses makes me think how many of these courses are actually good, folks with just 1- 2 years experience teaching MERN, DSA promising high packages to all. We have replaced college professors with engineering freshers who have limited scoped knowledge, right now course selling looks like a way to make a quick buck and quit your job.

I understand as a fresher, job is the most important thing and to get a job in this country the easiest and quickest way is coding. Mostly it is the curriculum to blame as it has failed our students and industry. But feels people are finding opportunity in this crisis.

What are your thoughts ?

These ads are getting out of hand

Just saw this ad from growth school io. Don’t know what “communicate like a mck consultant” even means.

Fun fact, check the LinkedIn of the mentor. She wasn’t even a McK consultant and instead worked as research analyst. 🤦‍♂️

Edtech layoffs still continuing?

Teams were asked to strictly work from home for today because of plumbing work going on in the office. Roughly 300 people were laid off in a townhall hosted by the founders.
