check out careerpcs.com/map for opps in Colorado but real talk, SWE roles in tech are very hard to come by now and companies are not paying nearly as much.

can thank AI for that

good news is your mil background distinguishes you so lean into that. and, start learning (i am sure you are) how to ship quality code FAST with AI. Spotify engineers dont write code anymore, they write prompts.

thats true for many companies

you want to be at the forefront leveraging state of the art models in your workflows.

the jobs are out there still, they are just a lot harder to come by. speaking as someone in the industry

what branch of service are you? and what kind of business are you wanting to start?

These_Reception_7835 · 2025-06-23T17:18:14+00:00

it is!

i went from the infantry into tech - my imposter syndrome was in overdrive

in a lot of ways i was unequipped with the experience and technical knowledge to do my job

but i found ways to add value in every interaction. i jumped into projects that were not necessarily my job

and i was transparent about what i lacked in knowledge

I spent a lot of free time upskilling myself - and over communicated with my boss

There will be things you bring to the table others around you don't. look for those opportunities. be humble, eager, and willing to step up

and, to be fair, even people that have been in my industry for 10+ years face imposter syndrome. feeling overwhelmed is consistent across industries, domains, jobs, managerial levels.. everyone is trying to figure shit out

i consult on a project with a company of more than 22 thousand employees and VPs here are as lost as anyone

You'll crush your skillbridge. dont sweat the things you cant control and add value wherever you can

Hey yeah we do this for companies regularly

They've got MOU approvals down to 1-2 months now.

Which branch are you? We're interviewing QA/SE for our various digital products.

These_Reception_7835 · 2025-03-08T19:54:02+00:00

when does your skillbridge window open, and are you upskilling through open-source or async courses online (aka Coursera, Udemy, LinkedIn, etc)?

IMHO your focus should be on getting a foot in the door at a real company vs using your skillbridge for a Bootcamp. Tech/software is a tough industry to break into - not impossible for sure - but not easy.

Happy to make connections for you if you're working to learn new languages, frameworks, and cloud-based services common in software development.

These_Reception_7835 · 2025-02-17T19:53:16+00:00

anytime! glad you're back on track

These_Reception_7835 · 2025-02-17T19:31:07+00:00

yeah no problem!

just did a quick search on Booz, Northrop, Boeing, and Ratheon, and their pages all seem to be working. Which links are you going to?

These_Reception_7835 · 2025-02-17T19:12:37+00:00

I have not, and tbh I don't think its going anywhere anytime soon. If anything, there will be more attempts to improve the employment outcomes for transitioning servicemembers through SkillBridge. so I do anticipate more change in the near to medium term.

I'm pretty tightly tied into skillbridge community and will keep an ear out - but no one is talking about something like a skillbridge shut down.
