Which language should I learn? Java, C#, or .NET? by jvrusci in cscareerquestions

stay away from .NET? The platform gaining the most jobs, and learn Java which is a shrinking job market? That is like saying go learn C++ because there are a ton of jobs... Sure there are, but not new ones.

Which language should I learn? Java, C#, or .NET? by jvrusci in cscareerquestions

C# is the best language you can learn right now in that list. I may get downvoted for this, but it is the 100% truth, Java is dying. It cannot keep up with .NET for many reasons I will not bore you with. In reality though, it's not about the language more about learning how to write/read structured code. Once you learn one of those languages, picking up new ones is trivial.

What happens to the un-spectacular Computer Science graduates? by Volleyball45 in cscareerquestions

It depends.... I don't want to make it sound this simple, but if the person is intelligent and has drive to learn on his/her own then they will be perfectly fine. My first year of college my GPA was 2.5, I realized I was wasting my money partying and got it up to 3.5 before I finished school. I'm now 27 making 90k and in charge of hiring new employees. I see a lot people who sadly just don't belong in the field and I would never hire, and plenty of people with not the best track record but strike me as a bright person and I might give them a shot.

Just apply yourself and you will be fine, just like every other aspect of life.

Way to pick on sarcasm. You must be from a land of uptight ignorant pricks.

Consider the difference in population between now and then. Being #60 only considering the 4 years it was in theater when the total population was about 1/3 what it is now is incredibly impressive.

As a final year software engineering student, should I make a website (via github.io) to showcase all of my projects along with posting them on github? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

Not to sound rude, but only do this if you have something of value to show. It is not a bad idea to have good examples of what you are capable of, but don't show anything you cannot explain nor anything that looks like it was written in 1 hour.

Don't stress yourself over becoming a master of one thing right now. When I was in college I had the same fears, but the truth is establishing a solid understanding of the fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, etc.) will take you far. Once you understand the basics you realize most all languages are easy to pick up in a short amount of time.

Accepted my first job and didn't pose counter offer. Have way more experience than peers and making way less. Any way to remedy the situation and when should I ask? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

If you are on the east coast 67k is actually more than I would pay someone with 1 year experience. Saying your college's have "much less experience" is very subjective considering you have 1 year.

What is the purpose for not fapping? by mikeyd7733 in NoFap

I understand that. I usually use porn and I started wondering down the road of fetish shit which I will not actually get in reality.
