So, social media has definitely taken care of the whole web and changed the way we interact with each other in ways we've never seen before.

This can also be applied to the job searching/hiring process.

Nowadays, employers look at the social media profiles of their contestants to see how their life (off work) is. And this has serious implications when it comes to making the final decision.

In today's video, I received a question from a reader asking if it was cool to expose your life on Facebook, as it was a dangerous thing to do and how employers perceive that thing.

It's 2017 and we all know what discrimination is, right?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that are still discriminated by their skin color, sexual orientation, the place they were born, etc.

But... how do you react if YOU are the one being discriminated in your workplace? How would you act and react to this?

In this video, I received a question from a reader asking me that he applied for several jobs but got zero responses. Some people said it was because of his name.

How do you overcome this awful situation? What can you do to show them that you're better than that?

A lot of guys have been asking me to do a review about Cracking The Coding Interview, and the time has come.

In this video I'll tell you if you should buy Cracking The Coding Interview and why I consider it one of the best programming books ever written (even though it is above Soft Skills on Amazon).

Here is the book description extracted from Amazon "I am not a recruiter. I am a software engineer. And as such, I know what it's like to be asked to whip up brilliant algorithms on the spot and then write flawless code on a whiteboard. I've been through this as a candidate and as an interviewer.

Cracking the Coding Interview, 6th Edition is here to help you through this process, teaching you what you need to know and enabling you to perform at your very best. I've coached and interviewed hundreds of software engineers. The result is this book.

Learn how to uncover the hints and hidden details in a question, discover how to break down a problem into manageable chunks, develop techniques to unstick yourself when stuck, learn (or re-learn) core computer science concepts, and practice on 189 interview questions and solutions.

These interview questions are real; they are not pulled out of computer science textbooks. They reflect what's truly being asked at the top companies, so that you can be as prepared as possible. WHAT'S INSIDE? 189 programming interview questions, ranging from the basics to the trickiest algorithm problems. A walk-through of how to derive each solution, so that you can learn how to get there yourself. Hints on how to solve each of the 189 questions, just like what you would get in a real interview. Five proven strategies to tackle algorithm questions, so that you can solve questions you haven't seen. Extensive coverage of essential topics, such as big O time, data structures, and core algorithms. A behind the scenes look at how top companies like Google and Facebook hire developers. Techniques to prepare for and ace the soft side of the interview: behavioral questions. For interviewers and companies: details on what makes a good interview question and hiring process."

Sometimes, living with the parents can be the hell out of a thing and they end up suffering all this time with no chances of getting out.

So... If you're living this type of situation... What should you do? Should you put off my desire to a more opportune time? Will there ever be such a time?

There are a lot of software developers that want to become entrepreneurs.

In this channel I talk a lot about entrepreneurship, building a side project, building a blog and marketing yourself.

However, between books and products... which one is more profitable? Which type of product should you aim if you're building your online empire?
