i can see that working because there are so many nerds who “didnt need school” and begrudge the university system because they didnt see the value in a math or humanities course

I don't mind if they are bad as long as it's fixable, but I shouldn't have to explain what inheritance is to a new graduate. i was chatting with an old high school pal and he has been programming for four five years and makes six figgies. i had to be explain inheritance to him and im a fuckwad just getting into upper division courses. how? is basic knowledge really this selective in computer jobs?

ThePeavstenator posted:I remember one of my professors saying that some people have advocated for engineering degrees to take 5 years instead of 4. I've never heard of that outside of that professor so I'm not sure if it's BS, but after going through a pretty tough engineering program it makes sense why. ca universities remove certain ge requirements for engineering students which might be the application of this.

its really weird trying to transition from a field with 10+ years of experience to something else. suddenly youre barely qualified and struggling to get face time for the second time in your life. all the while recruiters and sites and trying to suck you back into the old thing

qhat posted:But for real, anything that explicitly has no mention of prior work experience. oh, rip. most big corporations will offer "new grad" positions which seems to be a one weird trick for lowering position compensation. that being said everything else is 3-5 years. entry level it maybe 1-2 years exp. id settle for a long contract internship at this point but thatd be a hard pill with 10+ mfg eng xp.

applied toa bunch of internships this morning. tried to stick with companies that have a track record for long contracts + internship extensions. can i get away with negotiating the duration if they interview and like me or is that just gonna tank my chances? did a couple entry level position apps w pretty much no xp demands but those all listed triple digit applicants.

having trouble finding entry level computer jobs on the usual boards. their mostly classified as "new grad" positions which i am not. either my resume is real bad or I have to accept that employers wont waste their time until I complete my degree next year. job boards keep trying to steer me to cnc jobs instead which is demoralizing. my company does literally nothing with computers it seems so a transfer is unlikely.

okay cool thanks. i know our hiring people are pretty biased against less than 2 year work experiences. the original plan was to land a software job or stick it out till graduation but its become pretty toxic
