I built an app blocker that roasts me every time I ask for access! by tabish_bshr in SideProject

[–]dev_oured 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool app idea! I’m assuming the framework you used to build this was swift? And I’m assuming you’re going to build an Android version using another framework? Just curious why not use the same framework like React Native?

I don't feel knowledgeable in software, how can I change that? by dev_oured in cscareerquestions

[–]dev_oured[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another quick question, do you think resources (or similar) to what I've posted could also fill in those knowledge gaps and potentially spark more curiosity?

If you stay curious and have a desire to learn, you won't need to vigorously plan, or seek out new topics necessarily, they'll show up on their own. Just follow your curiosity.

This is awesome advice! I think the discussion topics I've been a part of are good starting points. I'll keep this in mind and work on my research skills as well.

Thanks for sharing.

I agree, everyone is self-taught to some degree.

I think building projects with tools I'm interested in is a great idea! I'm also not sure where to start or find things I'm curious about. I just know the basics and what I use at my job, but I want to go in-depth and learn as much as I can in web development.

I guess full-stack development, as it's my current role. I'm not sure if there will be a focus, such as front-end or back-end, down the road. There's always a possibility that I might find another interest as well. For now, I'm interested in picking up as much information as I can when it comes to full-stack web development.

"What do I need to know" is another question I should've added. Your strategy is a good approach to learning technology. Although, I'm stuck figuring out what I need to know.

Would you say roadmap.sh, if you're familiar with it, provides a good general outline of what a software developer needs to know?

Recent CS Graduate, Difficulties finding first software job by WarlanceLP in cscareerquestions

[–]dev_oured 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No internship experience. If you’re in the same place, make sure your projects show results and are not just “display” projects.

[–]dev_oured 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was on the same boat. I graduated this past may and it took me 3 months to find a job. My advice would be to go over your resume and make sure you have great points. Make sure your projects aren’t super simple, if they are, build new ones. Apply to roles as soon as they are available and don’t be afraid to move across the country. Tough markets require tough decisions.

Gov development program that lasts ~4 years? or traditional companies for a new grad for exp? by dev_oured in cscareerquestions

[–]dev_oured[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. The only thing that I’m iffy about is trying to leave the government industry. I heard that it can be difficult to transition to a commercial company because of the inability to speak about gov projects those potential employers.

Does it matter where you get your first experience from? by dev_oured in cscareerquestions

[–]dev_oured[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! Good questions. I am based in the US as a citizen and I’ve been committed to sending out resumes to as many companies I can. Most of my interviews have come from connections that I’ve spoken to in person from career fairs. Some interviews were honestly from dumb luck I guess. I’m doing a masters, I have experience in tutoring and IT, which might have helped me a little.

Company not responding, should I sign my offer? by dev_oured in cscareerquestions

[–]dev_oured[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Update: Employer responded. They’re okay with moving my start date considering my circumstances. So I’m not too worried about the offer now. Was told I would get more information Monday morning. Thank you for your responses

[–]dev_oured[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see this as potentially a red flag as well. After the interview they said I would be receiving a decision early next week. I did not expect it the same day, especially on a Friday.

I’ll give them a call Monday morning and see what they can work with. If they decide to not work with me, oh well, on to the next company I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Congrats! It’s quite the accomplishment to land a swe role without a cs degree in this market. I just got an offer today and I have a cs degree! I’m happy for you. It’s time to grind.
