Python Learning
Ive been thinking about a career change and have picked up python. im only 25 so it wont be too hard to learn but say I went to apply for a job in the CS world. would recruiters care if you have a total different degree? even if you understand it all? itll take some time for me to become proficient on it but figured id pop the question.
What skills do you have now?
I’m an mech engineer. Took some java in college but nothing crazy. I’m learning python now on my own so figured Id ask professionals here
Join some boot camp where you can learn basic web development. It will be fun where you can see how web site develop. You can also contribute because you can find small project. Or even develop small web site for you.
Well as long as the degree is in a 'quantitative field' it usually isn't a problem
The harder problem for you will be to get interviews without experience. Entry-level is already pretty saturated. Reach out to your friends and acquaintances who are is tech and ask for referral.
Yea I have some friends at amazon and Apple. So when I’m ready I’ll apply
