Naman joins me on this week's episode of Panchayat where we discuss life of a Techie / Coder in the West i.e. California and Seattle. Naman has a Master's Degree in Computer Science from Syracuse University and currently works for Amazon Web Services in Seattle. We dive into a few different topics that sum up the Computer Industry in the West. How does one choose between a high paying job and a well positioned job? How does one choose between giants like Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Google and a Startup? How is the work culture in the West different than everywhere else in the world? How has COVID affected a Techie's life? Is it true that the West is the Holy Grail of innovations? Where is the Computer Industry headed? Should we teach Computers to build a program by themselves? Tune in to listen to our thoughts!
