How close to graduation should I reach out for full-time conversion? /u/darkshadowtrail CSCQ protests reddit

How close to graduation should I reach out for full-time conversion? /u/darkshadowtrail CSCQ protests reddit

The company I interned for in the Spring wasn’t able to extend a full time offer to me due to a hiring freeze, but my manager had told me they liked me and to reach out closer to graduation to see if they can hire me full time. I should have asked what “closer to graduation” meant specifically, but what would be an appropriate time?

I graduate in May, but noticed they have recently started to hire SWEs again. Should I reach out now?

What’s the ideal job hopping sequence? /u/Meetcode CSCQ protests reddit

What’s the ideal job hopping sequence? /u/Meetcode CSCQ protests reddit

What’s the ideal job hopping sequence to maximize comp, exposure to different skills, while short tenure not hurting you? I know it depends on personal situations but I wanted to see the generalized opinion.

Example: I saw someone suggesting fibonacci sequence job hoping for maximize comp – 1, 1, 2, 3, 5.

Exit strategies for aging programmers? How do you jump ship when it’s all you’ve done your whole life? /u/geocitiesuser CSCQ protests reddit

Exit strategies for aging programmers? How do you jump ship when it’s all you’ve done your whole life? /u/geocitiesuser CSCQ protests reddit

I’ve asked this before on occasion in various places. This subreddit is probably a bunch of younger people just starting out, so maybe not the best place, but I’d love to hear thoughts anyway.

I’m going to be 50 in the not so distant future. I have been programming for money since I was about 18. I was part of the dawn of the modern internet, and boy have things changed.

Programming for 30 years…. I’ll be honest, it went from something I loved more than anything in the world, to now I just kind of hate computers. I’m not as sharp as I was when I was 25, and the changing tech stacks and constantly changing libraries is just too much for me to keep tabs on at all times. Every time I learn something new, it is now deprecated and I’m expected to do “the same thing, but in a different way” and I just don’t find it enjoyable anymore.

Specifically I do web development on large to very large websites. A lot of php, a lot of javascript, a lot of css libraries like tailwind, and a lot of CMS like drupal and wordpress. Also a lot of never ending meetings. Sometimes I’ll touch other things like java or coldfusion.

The best ideas I’ve heard:

Going into management using my background + maybe a couple years of school building my own SaaS (which honestly sounds like a nightmare that isn’t guaranteed to succeed) Buggering off and building some random business based on different interests

All aren’t terrible ideas, none of them really tickle me.

What career changes are there, realistically, that will pay a livable wage and let me retire some day? As much as I dream of more physical, blue collar work, at my age that would be short lived.

Edit: Just want to say thank you for all of the thoughtful comments and discussion, I wasn’t expecting so many. I can’t respond to all of them, but know you have been seen.

50+ yo with 20+ yrs experience /u/lt_ligma23 CSCQ protests reddit

My dad is a 50+ yrs old and has 20+ yrs experience in the IT/SWE industry. He worked at one company from 2000’s to 2021 and then got laid off during Covid. He then got a job at a known but little prestige company as an IT director (from my understanding, it sounds like this is more of like a principal manager/M2 role). My dad doesn’t like to talk to me about finances or his work often but he is worried that after his project ends in January, that he will lose his job. He found a job very easily through a connection when he got laid off in 2021, but is now very stressed that he’s too old for the market. I wanted to know if anyone else has been in this position or has any general advice about being older but experienced in this job market.

Edit: his current role seems mainly managerial position and not technical but I do know that he works heavily with GCP

Software Engineering student a bit lost in terms of the different fields how can I explore my interests /u/Colfuzio00 CSCQ protests reddit

?

Hello all I hope you are doing well. Like the title feels a feel a bit without direction, I’m 24 a completed my bachelor’s in IT about a year and a half ago I focused on web development, and while I’ve been working as front end developer I enjoy it. However I want something more interactive or hands on. I really dislike anything backend but I have forced myself to learn the fundamentals.

I don’t know what other areas exist I currently am enrolled in some pre reqs to get into a software engineering masters. I’ve looked into Embbeded systems and while the basics have seemed fun, it’s obvious that such would require hardware knowledge and electronics and you have to be very invested in it. I like what I’ve done so far run some C code to light up LED’S , calibrate a photo resistor etc but this just basics. I found a masters program online that has a concentration in embbeded systems and a concentration in human computer interaction which I read about to my understanding is kind of like UI UX engineering? I would like to learn more about what other visual or hands result based software engineering fields or jobs out there. Before commiting to something as intensive as embbeded. These are the programs that Im considering. One is at my local university now UHCL The other in Michigan. Thank you for any advice in advance!

Hello all I hope you are doing well. Like the title feels a feel a bit without direction, I’m 24 a completed my bachelor’s in IT about a year and a half ago I focused on web development, and while I’ve been working as front end developer I enjoy it. However I want something more interactive or hands on. I really dislike anything backend but I have forced myself to learn the fundamentals.

I don’t know what other areas exist I currently am enrolled in some pre reqs to get into a software engineering masters. I’ve looked into Embbeded systems and while the basics have seemed fun, it’s obvious that such would require hardware knowledge and electronics and you have to be very invested in it. I like what I’ve done so far run some C code to light up LED’S , calibrate a photo resistor etc but this just basics. I found a masters program online that has a concentration in embbeded systems and a concentration in human computer interaction which I read about to my understanding is kind of like UI UX engineering? I would like to learn more about what other visual or hands result based software engineering fields or jobs out there. Before commiting to something as intensive as embbeded. These are the programs that Im considering. One is at my local university now UHCL The other in Michigan. Thank you for any advice in advance!
