I was an Aerospace Engineer at NASA and now switched to SWE in finance after completing a CS masters w/GaTech. All the recruiters I get messages from are finance only, never tech. People I add on LinkedIn or message ghost 100% of the time. And obv cold applications are never going to result in anything. I know I can pass the interview just can’t get one. I just want to work at a reputable tech company or startup.
What’s AE
I think he said he was an aerospace engineer in another post

Move to India to increase scope?
A little bit of a reach with 0 experience, cold apps aren’t a bust and if anything you could take a mid swe job to break in and then upgrade after some YoE
I have two years now though as a SWE. I just want to switch from finance to tech
Oh I misunderstood my b, tech does have a higher barrier of entry but I guess the advice can still stand, if it gets tough though you’ll always find a home in a gov’t contractor
