ML Career Paths /u/pAsta_Kun CSCQ protests reddit

hey, so i’m a current freshman in college majoring in CS. I’ve been coding for the past couple years but I’ve mainly spent my time in the web/app dev realm. recently i’ve started messing around with neural nets and have been specifically interested in learning more in the NLP sphere.

i know how competitive CS is nowadays and because of that I feel kind of rushed on figuring out what i want to pursue for my future career. i think SWE is something i would enjoy, but i don’t want to pigeon hole myself in something without exploring what els is out there. I’ve only been learning about machine learning for a couple of months now but i feel like a career within ML could be really fun. currently I’m really interested in getting into research because i believe that’s where i will be able to work on the most cutting-edge technologies, but at the same time i don’t know if i want to spend 4-6 more years after college in school.

my question is: what are some ML related careers, what level of education do you need, and what do you do on the job.

Caretaker to jr. Software developer /u/True_Blueberry9614 CSCQ protests reddit

I’m currently a caretaker for an elderly relative and I work part time on the side. I’ve been teaching myself how to design and code websites for the past month now. I’m nowhere near good enough to start applying for positions yet but I’m interested in eventually getting a jr. front end or software developer position once I’ve finished the projects I have setup for myself and updated my portfolio. I also have a degree in an unrelated field and experience in that field however it’s not a field I’m interested in. My goal is to learn as much as I can with code so I can get good enough to actually be considered for the positions I want.

What are some ways I can make myself a valuable candidate for a junior developer role? What really makes someone stand out for said roles and is it even feasible to make such a drastic career change in the current state of our employment market?

Does anyone else get exhausted by the repetition of the never ending backlog and your contributions being measured by tickets done? /u/RothIRALadder CSCQ protests reddit

A software engineer is sort of like the brick layer in a company. You build the actual product. Without your hands the business doesn’t have a thing to sell. Your output can only be measured in direct contributions to the product. Because of that it’s hard to bullshit.

Sometimes I wish I had a “fake job”. A “fake job” is having meetings about meetings, writing emails, giving status updates, making powerpoints to other departments, making inconsequential decisions, and pretending to look busy. You’re barely doing anything. Maybe the pay is less, and the job security is worse, but that backlog isn’t staring at you.

Is this a sign it’s time for me to pivot into management?

Advice for people like me? /u/dillpill4 CSCQ protests reddit

On my last semester of college, no internships. I have basic side projects & research experience. My goal is to get a full time job. Best case scenario right out of college. I feel sort of lost as to what I should be doing. How much should I be applying? Should I upskill? Pursue leetcode? Any advice or sharing experience would be helpful. Thanks.
