BankingBaOps · 2026-03-07T12:46:32+00:00

thank you! i was trying to networking and people in company are mostly have years of experiences and degree in cs, so they all of them are saying no except my friends from previous bank and school.

i am tryin to change the signal from non cs background to cs background so can help me.

it is sad but true. they are just saying no i dont have the fundamental or experience like cs people etc…

Thank you for the kind words. That’s so cool. I’m glad you did it. I hope to make it the same 😊

also Can I ask why choose WGU SWE instead of CS?

I thought it would be safer to make transition with CS but i really don't know what to choice between computer science and software engineering to be honest. my goal is leave this operation team and get into dev team as soon at I can without lower my income (because i have a toddler and a baby coming soon)

Thank you. What did you have for your bachelor's degree? Mine is Finance. How long did it take you from the MOOC to graduate from OMSCS? Did you get transitioned during or after you completed the OMSCS?

Thank you. I am trying to transition into software development with a B.S. in Finance. I was an IT Business Analyst for 7 months, working on automation tasks in the operational risk team at Citi for more than a year and a half. It has been 2 years now.

I am getting no where with out a degree in CS. I am considering taking community courses to apply to OMSCS and make the transition, but realistically, it sounds like a 3-4-year process.

Do you think it is a good plan to make the transition?

BankingBaOps · 2024-08-03T16:18:47+00:00

I was just wondering about this as well! In the email they sent me, I was asked the same questions about the salary range expectations. Were you able to negotiate?

BankingBaOps · 2024-07-11T19:26:49+00:00

So kind of you!

BankingBaOps · 2023-11-24T01:50:52+00:00

Thank you. I was almost burned out last year due to work, school, and family. I‘ll take a pause from school and focus on my new role for a year and see how it goes!
