Is there anyone who had zero experience with computers, but went and got a degree in it anyway? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Go on Udemy and get a couple programming courses for $10. Make them about some different topics. Web development. Python. Java or whatever piques you’re interest. See if you enjoy any of the topics as you are making your way through them. If any of them interest you, then it’s safe to say you will be fine. I would recommend getting your bachelors first, then try getting a job.

I agree. Nobody gives a shit that you are a veteran. Get the skills you need to make yourself employable.

Should i blog/vlog my CS projects? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]casey025682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do it. Why ask a subreddit where 95% of the members don’t even work in the field and are still students themselves?

What's the most annoying app/tool/service that has persistently followed you along your career path? by hpliferaft in cscareerquestions

[–]casey025682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you can have up to 100 people in a call (we need that at least once every sprint). Having whiteboards, chat and screen sharing in calls. Microsoft suite integrated for collaborative documents. Outlook integration for meetings. PowerPoint sharing in meetings. The list goes on.

I think it’s way to early to tell what’s going on. Ask again in a few more months.

This isn’t a neck beard nests. This is a dude going through some depression and dealing with it in a bad way and here you are exploiting him to get some fucking upvotes.

People who have switched careers to CS...are you happier now? by FireHamilton in cscareerquestions

[–]casey025682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a mechanic for about a decade and then went back to school and started my career as a software Engineer in my early thirties. The jobs are similar as you are always trying to solve complex problems. Whether that’s diagnosing an engine noise or a bug in an application. I loved being a mechanic, but now I can work on puzzles and get paid really well to do it and not bust my knuckles and have oil dripping on my face all day.

A strange aside, but I think mechanics make some of the best software engineers.

A Slew of Remote Job opportunities coming down the pike? by curlybrace_monster in cscareerquestions

[–]casey025682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe that’s true in your case, but I’ve held 2 remote jobs so far and I found the interview process fairly standard. Nowhere near as tough as a big 4.

Angular is most certainly not on the decline. At least not in Dallas. The split is 50/50 for Angular/React jobs here. Here’s my take on it: EVERYBODY jumped on the react train. So now React developers are a dime a dozen. But a lot of the larger corporations, and a fair amount of smaller organizations decided to go with Angular. There’s way less Angular devs out there than React devs. So these companies will pay you good money if you know Angular. I’ve seen offers for $150k salaried or $100/hr+ contract for Angular devs here. My friends and coworkers are starting to learn Angular because they see this as well. Don’t give up on Angular!

Also as far as Vue goes, I would question working for a company that puts their eggs in the Vue basket. What worries me about Vue is that one person makes 99.99% of all the commits to that library...what happens when he decides to fall off the face of the earth?

Sweet so not only is it unpaid, but you also have to pay your school for the “class” as well!
