Where should a future IT specialist go?

Question

IT education

Where to enter if you want to work in IT companies of the level of Microsoft, Apple, Google, Yandex, etc. I am not bad at computers, I administer, I study programming (several languages), I speak English, I studied HTML and CSS. The only thing is that in mathematics I have gaps in knowledge, I don’t really understand it. What specialty to choose and what educational institution would you recommend?

Answer 1

the educational institution will not help you get a job in these companies.

Answer 2

The easiest way to get to work in such companies is through an internship.
One of the main requirements of interns is higher education. You can easily be convinced if you read the websites of these companies.
Most often, in Western companies, the presence of VO is the minimum requirement. And it’s easier to leave for permanent residence with VO. In the same VK, student programming Olympiads are just a fetish.
Yes, of course, you can complete the quest in hard mode:
1) Go to work right after school. By the way, who? Do you know many IT companies that need 17-18 year old boys? Suppose that if you care, then after the 9th grade-GIA in the summer you can start working as a freelancer and fill a github portfolio. This is a big plus. By the time you pass the exam, you will already have 2 years of experience.
2) Become a cool specialist.
3) You will be noticed or you will spam the Aichers and try to work there.
4) Success.
In terms of time, it seems to me that it will take more time and require more effort than studying at the university, internship and work in the last courses.
We can say that the university is a waste of time, etc., but this is stupidity. If only because there is socialization and gradual maturation + more opportunities for development. And it’s not for nothing that everyone remembers the student years with warmth.
Which university to go to. Everything is complicated here.
If possible, then you should use Mail.ru's internship advice:
If it is not possible, then I would take the international ranking of universities, which is recognized for assessing emigrants, and would enter a regional strong university.
And in any case, the choice is yours.
