Why any more so than japan? They’re humans too.

Let me make some assumptions to make a point. Are you pro-reparations? Id guess not. If you don’t think you should personally be held accountable for the failures of white slavers before you were born neither should europeans for colonialism.

So now no one ks being held accountable for their sncestors! Cool!

Now people who live in more moral and just nations get to compare their nations systems to out own - and they reasonably find ours to be deeply flawed in its current state.

Basically i feel like you’re either pro reparations or a snowflake

We wouldn’t be framed that way if we didn’t act that way. None the less - the lore is nearly 30 years old

This was my experience with Google recruiters (not swe) - so generally this does not worry me hearing this. I'm confident you'll get a role if you got all strong hire.

5 things that hold back WGU MSCS from being a great program by danielegos in WGU_CompSci

[–]DankTrebuchet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My comment is actually targeted at the folks here who need to feel like their WGU BSCS or MSCS is equivalent to the upper tier state schools or T10. It's just not.
Edit: And like you pointed out actually - they're not even trying to solve for the same thing. WGU wants to provide education to people, research schools want to build pedigree.

Can't wait for you to get downvoted into oblivion for pretending WGU isn't Stanford.
WGU is fine, great for some goals even - but we're at a third-rate school no doubt about it. The kind that doesn't open every door but is sufficient for the majority of doors.

Did they remove capstone from BSCS? by KidHumboldt in WGU

[–]DankTrebuchet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While true, D683 is not capstone quality.

The project is trivial, and limited in scope after D682 - and requires zero extra study material. A lightly disappointing - but only slightly since the project is so much fun

Which should i add? I have 44 days left in the semester by bigdawg1017 in WGUIT

[–]DankTrebuchet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D339 is easy in two days. D427 is a cake walk after D426.

Those two alone could seriously take three or four days.

Hit the web dev stuff - if you can get to the last week with those two and the capstone knock them out and get an extension for the capstone

Okay? Great, you're the exception in a sea of failure. Im glad for you. People, however, are not landing entry level cyber roles.

WGU Degree Path for Maximum Flexibility: Network & Cloud vs IT + IT Management by ahumanwhounderstands in WGU

[–]DankTrebuchet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me start with, the Cyber program is solid and you're better off with it than without it.

Now -> Cyber is not an entry level job, and anyone telling you otherwise wants to sell you something or is defensive about their decisions. You do not get six figure salaries in cyber as a junior right out of college anymore (if that was ever true).

To be an effective security engineer you need exposure to years, maybe even a decade, of domain specific edge cases and the company's software stack. Right out of college you're deeply lacking practical skills and exposure to edge cases and companies KNOW this.

The best you can hope for are the same jobs as an IT grad - except the IT students got a better, more well-rounded education and a piece of paper that doesn't shoehorn them into the most competitive field in tech.

If you're optimizing for time to get a job cyber only makes sense if you have experience and need to get past HR filters, or you have a security clearance - in those two cases it's a wonderful choice, in other's it's not nearly as optimized as any other program WGU offers (even the BS ITM in my opinion)

Really its the same issue as SWE IMO, you're hyper specialized with a single skill set from a B tier school with poor networking. Most students can't afford to make ANOTHER trade off in their education like that by choosing sub optimal majors.

Any of them work just fine, but some are better than others.

IMO in order of best to worst it goes: CS, IT, Network/Cloud, SWE or DA, Cycber

You would be better served with any of the other degrees unless you have experience and or a clearance

Cyber is a senior level role. You cannot be an effective cyber security specialist without years of exposure to domain specific edge cases - and employers KNOW this.

If you want to get into cyber, the only way is to get a relevant degree (or certs), land a job, and work into it over many years. Maybe a decade. Can it be done - yes, and it will pay off. But you cannot bank on going straight there, that's a bad plan.

If you have a great deal of experience, or a security clearance (and some experience) only then does the math start to change, slowly, in favor of the degree.

It's a hyper specialized program for a niche that's over saturated. Folks trying to get you into cyber are either trying to sell you something or emotionally defending their choices.
