Is Your CS Degree About to Become Worthless?...
The truth about tech careers in 2025 that nobody wants to tell you...
👋 Hey Future Tech Mogul!
Remember when a CS degree was your golden ticket to Silicon Valley?
Yeah... about that. 😬
I just dropped a 💣 FIRE interview with Sajjaad — the 20-year-old prodigy who speedran college (got a Bachelor’s AND a Masters from Georgia tech in only 3 years), landed a $250K software engineering job at 20 years old, and is now spilling ALL the tea about what's really happening in tech right now.
Plot twist: His answer about CS degrees will probably make you question everything you thought you knew about breaking into tech.
🔥 What We Uncovered (Spoiler Alert: You won’t be replaced yet…)
✅ The Good News: Software engineering isn’t dead... yet
😵💫 The Plot Twist: It’s evolving faster than your ability to keep up with JavaScript frameworks
🤯 The Reality Check: 25% of Google’s new code is now written by AI
💡 4 Game-Changing Secrets We Revealed:
Why AI Won’t Replace You (But someone using AI definitely will)
The Communication Hack that separates the $50K devs from the $250K ones
Developer vs 10x Developer Mindset (Hint: You’re probably doing it wrong)
Personal Branding Secrets that turn code monkeys into industry authorities
🎯 The Million Dollar Question:
Should you still get a CS degree in 2025?
Sajjaad’s answer might surprise you.
It’s not a simple yes or no — it’s way more nuanced than that, and honestly, it could save you 4 years and $100K+ if you get it right.
🤖 The AI Reality Check
Here’s what’s actually happening:
Software engineers are becoming managers of AI teams
Instead of 1 engineer = 1 feature, we’re heading toward 1 engineer = 100 features
The world of tech is about to literally explode in the next decade
Translation: Get on the AI train or get left at the station. 🚂
💰 Why This Matters to YOUR Bank Account
Saajjad went from college freshman to $250K earner by age 20 (and even more from his content!).
His secret? He didn’t just learn to code….he learned to think like the top 1%.
And no, it’s not about grinding LeetCode for 12 hours a day.
(Thank god, right?)
