By non-traditional fields , I mean fields other than CS, EE and applied math that directly carries over to CS.
If you are from such a field, how are you doing as a SWE? Any particular difficulties in terms of promotions, job switching etc.,? What was your PhD in and how did you transition to SWE?
I have a PhD in chemistry and I leetcoded my way into apple. I am doing alright so far but is iketimes feel I am behind in fundamental concepts etc.,
