SWE II to Senior Engineer without 4 years experience? /u/mattdd1 CSCQ protests reddit

Looking for an internal transfer to a Senior Engineer position at my company (in a different sector) and the listing asks for 4 years experience. My title is SWEII and I currently have 2.5 years in my role (which includes being a technical lead), and 3 years cumulative experience. Thoughts on how feasible this transition is and if I’m a competitive candidate? Happy to provide any additional details.

Will I hear back from more places with a coding portfolio? /u/1-800-ImBored CSCQ protests reddit

Recent CS grad been applying for about two months to entry level software engineer positions I’ve only had a few bites. Just had my interview today for a QA testing position and the guy had no coding experience or degree. I feel like my skills would be more useful elsewhere but I’m not sure if I should just take it. I’ve been applying without a portfolio though and no coding projects. Currently building my website portfolio now which I’ll have some coding projects on. I might just take the role for now but feel like I’m way overqualified for it. I’d be working under devs (where I want to be). Do you think I’ll hear back from more places with a well rounded project portfolio?

Career Switch: Medical Field to Software Engineering – Seeking Advice /u/KevinIsCold CSCQ protests reddit

Hi everyone,

I’m 24, currently working in the medical field but planning to transition into software engineering. I’ve saved up and I’m ready to make this career switch, looking for guidance from those who’ve been through similar transitions.

Key questions:

Which learning path would you recommend for a complete beginner? (Bootcamp, self-taught, traditional education)
For those who transitioned from other careers to tech, how was your journey?
What should I prioritize learning first?
How long did it take you to land your first tech role?

Some context:

Currently in medical field
Have savings to support the transition
No prior programming experience
Looking for structured learning approach
Based in East Africa but open to remote opportunities

Would really appreciate insights from anyone who has made a similar career transition or works in tech hiring.

Thank you!

Should I just give up on a “job offer” that’s been hanging over my head for months now? /u/carefree_dude CSCQ protests reddit

Back in September I interviewed at my place. it was quite a process, had to create a big project that took me a couple days as part of the interview, but overall it went well. I was the top candidate, and they wanted to hire me. They said they wouldn’t have funding until January though.

So I wait. i apply for more jobs, and actually got another job, which i started in December. pay was similar to the job I applied for in September. Figured I’d just decline that job when it eventually came around, even though I did like the company and such.

Mid December, that company reaches out to me, and apparently they liked me so much they wanted to make me team lead, which would have been a large pay increase and such. They had some additional interviews with me, and said they would reach out with an offer.

It’s almost February now, and I still haven’t heard from them. I reached out, but no response. I feel this company has had me strung along for nearly 6 months now and nothing has come of it. meanwhile I’m settling into the role I started last month really well.

Is it still worth it to try and pursue that job, or has this company shown themselves to be kind of unreliable and not worth it?

Startup founder reached out – what to expect from first call? /u/Schnikaz CSCQ protests reddit

Hey there, So I had this startup founder reach out to me on LinkedIn basically saying „Hey we have this nicely funded startup, wanna hear more?“ and I was like „yeah sure“ and now we got this 30 min call scheduled. He didn‘t mention anything about an open role. I found out what startup it is, but they don‘t have any open roles listed anywhere.

Of course he‘ll likely give an introduction to their company and probably some role they‘re hiring for, and of course I aim to find out about all the checklist facts and culture fit.

But my question is what more do you all think I can expect from this call? Like, from your experience, could he potentially ask about my skills, experience, what work environment I‘m looking for, etc.? On the side I‘d also like to get inspiration about what you all typically try to find out about in those kind of calls.
