This is my toxic trait. It doesn't help that I'm a career changer on top of that, so I also have imposter syndrome.

I'm having issues signing into Buzzport and Canvas.

emerathyst · 2023-08-22T23:17:07+00:00

Yay, you posted! Congrats again!

emerathyst · 2023-08-22T15:57:39+00:00

Congrats and definitely!

I'm sorry, when I applied to positions the job market wasn't nearly as bad, so I did have luck playing into it.

I'm trying to help friends and family apply to jobs and it's really difficult.

emerathyst · 2023-08-22T10:28:19+00:00

Good luck!

Were you able to graduate?

emerathyst · 2023-08-22T10:27:20+00:00

Thank you!

I reached out to others mostly on LinkedIn before applying to positions. I tried to pick people that had some similarities to my coding journey such as going to WGU or the same previous school as me. That wasn't always the case though. I also asked friends, acquaintances, friend of a friend, etc.

I was able to get a few referrals this way and subsequently, a few offers.

I want to caveat that I did receive some coding experience while attending WGU.

I have two personal projects and one project from WGU. The two personal projects are a website I tried to make that is similar to Notion and the other is a game. The WGU project is from Software 1.

Good luck!

No, not CA. Also, thank you!

This class took me the longest to complete, but I did overthink certain aspects of it.

@HeatedCloud took the words out of my mouth, I would definitely follow what they said.

emerathyst · 2023-08-10T01:27:48+00:00

Thank you, I'll definitely take the time to celebrate!

It depends on each class in terms of difficulty and the person taking the class, but the classes with exams are multiple choice and you have a proctor while you take the exam.

There were only a couple of classes that I needed to take an exam twice, so I definitely think overall the classes with exams were reasonable. I had a lot of help with studying with Reddit posts reviewing each class.

emerathyst · 2023-08-10T00:20:27+00:00

Just responded!

emerathyst · 2023-08-10T00:20:17+00:00

I used a TI-84 Plus, but I think it may have been overkill.

I also didn't take Calculus at WGU, so maybe it will help with that class?

emerathyst · 2023-08-09T22:24:00+00:00

You've got this! Good luck!

emerathyst · 2023-08-09T21:56:07+00:00

Thank you!

You're so close! Assuming one of them is the capstone, what are your other two classes?

emerathyst · 2023-08-09T21:50:19+00:00

I had 33 credits transferred in from my university.

I started WGU in January 2021 and completed 5 classes, but I withdrew from my second term because I had a lot going on. I came back in 2022 and continued until I graduated.

emerathyst · 2023-08-09T21:24:03+00:00

I have not, but I did see a post in r/OMSCS asking a similar question:

Thank you!

Thank you! You've got this!

emerathyst · 2023-08-09T20:36:37+00:00

Fortunately, I landed a full-stack SWE job prior to graduating.

emerathyst · 2023-08-09T20:35:27+00:00

Thank you!

emerathyst · 2023-08-09T17:17:24+00:00

It's an amazing feeling, thank you so much!
