Your career and life choices shouldn't be based on the glitter of the best case outcomes, eg. Jeff Bezos, SRK. The trick here is to find out what the median guy's life looks like and if that lifestyle still attracts and energises you. Let me expand: (1/n).

I remember giving my C++ final coding exam using pen and paper! University system of today is not at all geared towards the challenge of imparting new age digital skills ๐.
The fact that 90% of colleges in India teaching computer science donโt use Git is astonishing. In my own college years my batchmates used to send zip files of code to each other. It still happens today. Ignore the circus ๐คก, for CS the Internet is your college.
