What People Are Saying
About This Course

Firstly, I want to thank Tamizh for such a clear vision about the path ahead. I can differentiate my approach towards a career in software development before and after watching this course. I have seen some of the same thoughts and views on YouTube by self-made developers from western countries. I had the clarity but I couldn't accept the aspects of them but this course gave me both clarity and acceptance at the same time. "Make yourself deserving by adding the necessary skill sets rather than trying to crack the process of selection". I would recommend this course for anyone trying to get clarity regarding the same.
