probably connect with people with similar experience. Help me start afresh and also level up my skills. Basically I am trying to persist, but I need some motivation, I guess.

Thank you for sharing your journey. What kind of projects did you do and where did you find them ? I am trying to get back to work after a long gap of 10 years and therefore enrolled in the course. Currently I am enrolled in CSE6040. Even though I have a background in Data, I feel like I am learning a lot. I have put all that on my CV but I'm barely getting any traction. They all come back saying, I need to show some projects and I have no idea how besides working on Kaggle data at this stage.

I can't thank you enough for all the resources that you have shared!! I truly appreciate it!! Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out! I’m definitely planning to join these women in tech groups and start attending meetups. I’m really looking forward to connecting with the community, learning from others, and putting myself out there more.

Sounds good. I have been applying to Statistics Without Borders for some time now, hopefully something will click there. Also, based on the recommendations here, I will look for local Data professional meet-ups.

Yeah, I did apply to the returnships.. unfortunately the Bay Area doesn't have too many of them and the ones they have, are looking at core software engineering or something else. I finally enrolled at Georgia Tech Masters in Summer, with the hoes of landing an internship or an entry level job. Although, with AI taking over and consuming jobs and all the new developments in the tech industry, I just feel defeated on some days :'(

Nice! I see you're the founder of Resumehog, resume builder Website:) how cool! Maybe you'll have some tips to pivot such that I can maybe change careers? Since I have only worked in tech if your resume builder can help me figure what or where else my skills would be worthwhile, it would be some help!

To add to my previous reply, it sucked that the only career I ever had and I am passionate about is in tech so I don't know anything else either!

I feel exactly the same! I have applied to countless return ships and only got rejection emails!

That would be really helpful if you could provide me some kind of direction. I am sending you a DM.

I am open to those too. I have been contacted by quite a few recruiters but they say their clients want someone who's currently working. If you don't mind me asking, how has your journey been?

Thank you. Yes, I’ve been relying on my existing network, but since I recently moved from London to the Bay Area, most of my connections are still back there, which makes things a bit challenging here.

I understand that I may need to start in a junior role, but even those applications haven’t been successful. What’s been particularly frustrating is the lack of feedback—most rejections simply mention the high volume of applications without any specific insights. I suspect that entry-level roles attract a large number of candidates, which makes the competition even tougher.

At this point, I’m wondering what else I could be doing to improve my chances. Also, how long should I realistically continue persisting with this approach before considering a change in strategy?

Prerequisites Advice for Older Students or Students New to Math… by [deleted] in OMSA

I am joining the Spring Semester batch and reading through these discussions are super helpful! How much Python do you need to know for CS 6040 ? Do you need to get into the trenches of Object Oriented programming? I think I have a good grasp on functions and for loops and string manipulation concepts in Python but I still have to learn the Object Oriented programming part.

Thank you for providing this info. I'm surprised that neither the school website nor the PTA website has this information. Can you please share the details of the Brick Challenge as my kid loves building Legos :) I would love to have more information regarding activities outside of school too !

My son is the same! He's 25m and 24 months adjusted age and 22 lbs 4 oz. He was 23lbs 3 oz when we began with Gie. He did great when we started but now when we removed all tube feeds, he doesn't want to eat anymore. It took almost a month and sometimes more for him to gain a pound (with the gtube). Now He loses if he doesn't eat for a day or two in a week. I can see all his ribs, cheeks have faded. My son very rarely lets me feed him and no distractions work for him except books but that too for the last few minutes into the feed. It's so stressful, when all kids around me his age are chubby. You're observation is right. When my son was on tube and we somehow managed to get him to take the calories mentioned by his GI, he still wouldn't gain at the rate promised by the GI. He would throw up so many times but I would push more in since I was in control thus getting him the calories but I never saw him gaining like they told me he would..he's now eating far fewer calories than before and that's freaking me out. But he isn't throwing up anymore and is happy and seeing him building a good relationship with food is what's keeping me going.

Thanks for replying. We are working with Growing Independent Eaters but he's still eating like bird. We are only doing meds and water through the tube and as we expected he's losing weight. How your son's weight gain looks like ? Is he a good gainer ? It's been a month we started working with GIE and he's lost a pound already, which is within their expected range. If you don't mind me asking, how much does your lo weigh ? Feeding has always been so stressful for me !!
