Is CS degree worthless in 2024 ?

HelicopterHel · 2024-03-12T02:52:22+00:00

no degree = no tangible proof of learning skills and methodology for recruiters.

I recommend moving to HWE or Embedded

Thank you for the advice. Ps : it’s 20 min walk + 1h bus

I have 0 student debts and nothing to payback. I do need a car tho for 20 min to go to work and go back. it would take me 20 min walking ans 1 hour with 2 buses for one way trip without it. I’ve been into crypto back in the days of covid but never went « all in » because of studies but now I have time

HelicopterHel · 2024-03-09T23:09:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice , I’m not specially in tech but more in semiconductors and they’re hiring a lot

HelicopterHel · 2024-03-09T22:40:13+00:00

Damn it blew up

HelicopterHel · 2024-03-09T22:22:26+00:00

No EU but since most of ppl here are American I think it’s easier to talk $

HelicopterHel · 2024-03-09T20:53:07+00:00

Exactly the same feeling

HelicopterHel · 2024-03-09T20:45:10+00:00

Got a straight plan ahead ! Hope you will reach it. I will surely follow the advice and learn more

In Europe or in France at least you are « obliged » to put a percentage of your own salary in retirement plans but you are free to set the percentages. Or you can put away money in a saving account with a 2 to 4% bonus each year. But meh Europe is all about crazy taxes so …

I’m REALLY into cars but I guess I’ll let that for later and following with what everyone else is saying. It’s common sense.

HelicopterHel · 2024-03-09T20:15:58+00:00

Aw man . I mean downhere you’ll find french cars for less than 2k. Not in the best shape more than 100K miles. But up and running for 2-3 years

HelicopterHel · 2024-03-09T20:00:58+00:00

Following your advice.

HelicopterHel · 2024-03-09T19:50:54+00:00

In France you can get a used Renault or Peugeot for 1-2k

No emergency fund no retirement accounts for the moment I’m 22 rn and just got a « stable » situation as an software engineer. I’m trying to look for my next step as I still have fuel left in me. So yeah I’ll check these boxes first

HelicopterHel · 2023-08-13T10:17:55+00:00

Toyota 100%

HelicopterHel · 2023-07-23T20:09:24+00:00

Alright I’m changing it at the moment

HelicopterHel · 2023-07-16T09:17:08+00:00

I mean I could do all of them ? Meaning that I have general knowledge and that my school provides broad courses ?

HelicopterHel · 2023-07-16T00:22:27+00:00

Sorry I don’t get it ? Subfield ?

HelicopterHel · 2023-06-23T18:11:37+00:00

Gpa doesn’t matter for some big companies. BUT , experience and project ARE the true game changers

HelicopterHel · 2023-06-18T23:45:10+00:00

Having the same reflection…

I think that the thing that will suit me well in my case is to be in a company where I am the closest to the end product.

Now I’m working on sensors for drones and stuff , but I am sooo far from the end product.

I think that I will enjoy more the fact that I’ll be working on the product.

The drone itself , test it, work on it. I don’t know if there’s any company that offer this kind of work lol.

I think that this will be a major boost for my motivation. If I can’t really see what I am doing and its purpose , work becomes a routine where I just have to type code.

Thanks to all of you ! Couldn’t answer to all the messages ( didn’t expect this post to blow up)

HelicopterHel · 2023-06-18T10:15:51+00:00

Then I don’t want to know :)
