Hello Everyone,

Thank for your advice in advance. I hope this post belongs here.

My background is a bachelor of arts in mathematics and economics in my local college in NYC and 3 yoe as a budget analyst in the public sector.

Currently, I am about to get a cs50 web programming certification with two projects left. The final project will be related to preventing depression service. The goal is refocus user's hobby with positive result. First feature is to generate a daily 3 set meal plan with Spoonacular API for the user to make which could lead to a healthier lifestyle. Second feature is to track user's happiness with a modal pop up to appear with a rate from 1-10 and a daily reminder. It would be great if I can add a feature to upload exercise result from gamin or apple health to the webpage but that requires legal regulation.

Also, I'm in my first semester at Gatech OMSCS program. Right now, I want to learn about data structure and algorithm to prepare for LC and technical interview questions. One of my goal is to working in the health industry as a SWE.

How long will it take me to be prepare for technical interview questions? Should I apply for internship or full time position? What else am I missing to be a SWE in the health industry?

Thank you for taking your time to read through this post. I appreciate all your response which will be greatly hopeful to changing my career path.
