where the hell do i start? anyone can get hired at SAP. im a technical consultant at SAP and my masters was in molecular biology. Low TC but i managed to break 6 figs and wanna get a real TC like the SWEs here. instead of renting a room in a house with my shit tier SAP TC in seattle, id like to have my own place in LA. option1: Considering two routes atm. GMAT -> MBA -> corporate finance or product management. option2: learn to code and do projects to build up a portfolio. take a paycut and go to a smaller comapny and build relevant experience and then FAANG. YoE: 3 TC: 105k NW: 185k age: 28
Solutions architect. We're not 'coders' but our pay is similar.
Can u elaborate
@apple - 99% its systems design, the system design scenarios that SWE dont particularly like and are usually weaker in, but some of yall love it. We code, sometimes, like for infrastructure or orchestration templates. Could be infrastructure solutions architect or apps side.
Try consulting? Hard to get into and TC isn't like tech, but it's good and you can be a PM later.
This guy I know. Degree in civil engineering. Is now doing something in sales/marketing. Dunno how much he makes , BUT pays 4k in his own rent, 4k rent for GF's (she's currently unemployed, looking for job) apartment, and 15k child support/alimony to ex-wife. These r monthly expenses.
UX Designer. Don’t need to code just understand how to work with engineering team and can make a little below SWE.
What exactly do they do? I always thought UX designer was basically a front end developer
Design the look and feel. Research users and test designs to validate or invalidate design solutions and then iterate. Art + science basically. It’s a great field.
Language to start with id recommend java. Not too easy to write in like python but also not too hard like c/++. Learning to program in a typed language first is better imo.
Get MBA!
How u ger high networth like that
Do a coding bootcamp
Does an mba with a job( for ex product mgmt) in tech pay higher than engineering salaries?
Option 2 is faster: get a masters in CS while working at any tech company that will take you. Then go FANG when your masters is 75% finished. Should take you 2 years or less
What language should I focus on? There’s so many and I’m clueless on what to choose
How would I get into a tech company without CS degree and no CS background?
