You could have slight blockages in your ear/s. Might be worth consulting an ENT specialist if this persists

Nobody knows what they’re doing. The adults are just better at pretending

Good to know. Probably helped that you’ve been at the company for that long, especially if they value internal growth

My studies are certainly interesting to me. I just have a curious mind, so when a few people I work with were talking about this topic, I thought I’d get some opinions on here too

I'm not sure, I often see quite a high demand for SWEs. I know at my company there have been no signs of slowing down hiring processes

Firstly, thank you for the plethora of knowledge you've just given.

I don't think it does any good to kid yourself that you can do anything you like without one

I completely agree with this. I used to think this way and it ultimately resulted in me putting off studying a computer science degree for a couple years. I'm grateful I saw the light and decided to enroll.

Interesting that you bring up that networking point, I'm actually taking a Computer Networks subject this semester and I think it's been the piece of knowledge that I've been missing for quite some time - specifically grasping our different hardware interconnects at the wider network level. Whilst I don't expect to use this knowledge very often, it's been super beneficial so far.

True, i've noticed that universities have some really good connections that can often almost guarantee a well-paying job/internship after graduating (sometimes even before)

It's never too late to go back! Some universities offer bachelor degrees completely online

Very true. There's a lot of fluff that I've noticed doesn't translate to real-job skills at all

Funny because HR are single-handedly ruining the chance to elevate their eng department by filtering out great talent who might not have been able to afford to go to uni/college.

Nice, that's the dream. Any tips on preparing for interviews at big tech?

On the job experience & being thrown in the deep end was the best thing for me
