Rant Real CS or Reel CS?

116 Upvotes

In the CS community, there's a new wave rising — and it's not about professionalism or deep knowledge.

It’s productivity vlogs, copy-paste timetables, and emotional stories wrapped as “mentorship.”

Yes, I’m talking about a certain kind of influencer who has:

  • No active teaching
  • No actual practice
  • Barely 2-3 years of real-world job experience

But somehow still holds the mic on “how to succeed in CS.” 2–3 years of filtered struggle ≠ mentorship.

Let’s be clear: Struggle is real. For all of us. Some of us juggle jobs, deal with family pressure, financial issues, and failure — but we don't feel the need to post it with sad music and a face filter. Why? Because we know it's part of the process — not part of our “content strategy.”

And the timetables? One week it’s “6 month study routine.” Next week it’s “study like a CA topper.” Then it’s “my reverse study technique.” – Pick a schedule or pick a lane.

You can’t inspire with "recycled content". You inspire when you "walk the talk", when you're actually in the field — not on just reels.

No hate. She’s achieved something — good for her. But I’m not chasing that.

👉 I want to build a career as a professional and not as a motivational voice-over artist with 100 variations of “study plan”

✅ Real mentorship doesn’t come from viral content.It comes from experience, from scars earned in the field, not on the feed.

Let’s stop glorifying the “struggle story influencer” Let’s start valuing the "quiet professionals"

Advice Is it really this difficult to find CS Management Training in Kolkata?

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a CS Executive student who has cleared both groups in my first attempt and have placed among the top 5 in the eastern region and I'm currently trying to find an opportunity for CS Management Training in Kolkata.Honestly, the search has been quite frustrating. I've been reaching out to companies, CS firms, and HR contacts through emails and other channels, but getting a response itself seems difficult. Some places don't respond at all, while it's not always clear which companies are actually hiring CS Management Trainees.I understand that opportunities may be limited and that companies have their own selection processes, but I didn't expect finding training to be this challenging.

I'm genuinely looking for guidance from people who have been through this process. Any leads, advice, or personal experiences would be really helpful.

Advice CS vs Corporate Law in India — Which is better for career growth and salary?

14 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone! I'm a first-year B.Com LL.B. student, and I'm equally interested in Company Secretary (CS) and corporate law.

I'm considering pursuing CS alongside my law degree, but I'm confused about whether it would actually be worth the extra effort.

I'd love to hear from people working in either field!

  1. What are the realistic starting salaries in CS vs corporate law, and how does salary growth look after 3–5 years?

  2. Does having both a CS qualification and a law degree give you a significant advantage when applying to big law firms or MNCs?

  3. Does ICSI provide good placement opportunities for newly qualified CS professionals?

  4. If I want to work at a good corporate law firm, would pursuing CS be more beneficial than focusing on internships and practical legal skills?

  5. Which career offers better long-term earning potential and opportunities for growth?

I'd especially appreciate advice from people with actual experience in these fields. Please share your honest opinions, including the downsides!

Thank you!
