yes sir top of class mumbai university

>>29789294
Yes I did and now Im a bartender. Oh wait no I'm a full time professional NEET because of COVID.

>>29789294
i cant believe how many cs grads come into interviews and cant pass fizzbuzz

i only trust chad nerdcoders that started coding at age 12

>>29789294
No because I have a soul

>>29789294
quitted CS, I'm working the field as a developer wfh waggie

i make 78 a year wfh not doing anything i dont want to back on site being a wagie what do i do biz

>>29789664
When interviewers say that candidates couldnt pass a fizzbuzz does that mean they wrote a code with one or two errors or does it mean that they were writing complete rubbish?

>>29789630
>because of COVID

Math major, cs minor

>>29789877
they have a panic attack, piss their pants, cum in their pants, and need to be given an ambulance ride for $50,000 plus tip

>>29789837
How do I do this?

>>29789294
lol there is no science in computers

>>29789294
No, I'm chad. I studied Electrical and Electronic engineering

>>29789877
I'm also interested in this. I just can't imagine that someone who wants to work as a programmer completely fails at fizzbuzz.

>>29789294
No. I'm a code monkey making a shitload of money.

>>29789967
was wondering where my fidget spinner went

>>29789877
>>29790034
I can imagine someone who only ever learned theoretical academic things and "competitive programming" kind of shit failing fizzbuzz because they literally never did anything practical. They could also freak out when faced with something that isn't a leetcode algorithm that you study and memorize.

>>29789294
It fucked up my brain. I could build so much if only they'd realize I'm too good to make this shitty web pages. Fuck ASP.net, let me gooooo. They told me I'd be rich but as a student I'm paid the same as a fucking mcCuck wagie. Fuck my shithole country. I've been a good student and I've been a nice guy most of my life. Crime seems like the only way forward. Maybe hacking so I can blackmail politicians. That would be cool, that would be exciting and make me money.

REEEeEEEEEEEEEEEEeE

Don't remind me

I’m a major in applied maths and computer science and I hate programming, I’m studying thermodynamics under the mentorship of a prof so I can be a chad mathematical chemist or something

>>29790034
>fizzbuzz
working as programmer for close to 10 years. first time hearing about your shit algo interview problem you dumb nigger

I did. Got my first developer job for this summer, probably wont have any problems getting hired full time. Will it be fun?

>>29789576
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJztXj2GPfk

>>29790338
wtf do you mean, people who engage in competitive programming surely perform the best out of any group in job interviews for coding

>>29790338
Fizzbuzz is just about basic logic and simple conditions. If you can't solve that, how would you even grasp difficult theoretical problems?

>>29790560
You lack reading comprehension, so I doubt that you're even capable of properly operating your computer, let alone programmng.
Pic related is what you would be stuck at for 10 years if you ever wanted to learn programming.

Mech E PhD
Unfathomably comfy

>>29789294
How about i majored in computer science and dont get hired

I got a Mech Eng degree and I want to kill myself. Working in manufacturing making less than everyone I know and I'm trapped. Very close to suicide or rage/panic-quitting my job. I'd like to self teach programming or something lucrative and get a remote position or at least something that pays well. I've made like 100000 replies and threads on /g/, /biz/, & /adv/ but no one has given me any fucking useful information.
My biggest regret in life is this retarded fucking degree. I could have spent 2 years programming full time and I'd be making six figures from home.

I refuse to believe that people can't do fizzbuzz. I literally looked at what the problem is with next to minimal coding experience and could solve it immediately. (I have a BS in math tho).There is no way someone who has a BS in CS could not do it, right? Also if anyone has that pic of the coding interview asking people to add odd numbers, that'd be nice

>>29791088
Competitive programming is basically writing programs to solve advanced math problems, it has nothing in common with centering a div, writing a CRUD app or solving a little practical task like fizzbuzz.

But yes, people who do competitive programming do well in interviews that in some part test your ability to write out mathy algorithms - so FAANG interviews where they have so many applicants, they can afford to filter out anyone who didn't memorize all algorithms on leetcode

>>29789837
I am in the same boat. /biz/ please help

>>29791699
> I've made like 100000 replies and threads on /g/, /biz/, & /adv/ but no one has given me any fucking useful information.
i responded to you at least 5 times because i'm a wagie accountant in the same situation. TEACH YOURSELF. that's literally it. and if you still can't get a job, then do one of those accelerated online BSCS degrees (western governor's university, etc.)

>>29791384
>You lack reading comprehension
Ironic, maybe you didn't understand what he said.
I don't think fizzbuzz is a thing outside USA, atleast I never heard of it where I live.
Also, I can't see it being useful at all, if you are applying for a programming job it's pretty much implied you know how to list a few numbers that are divisible by 3, 5, or both. On interviews here they usually ask specific questions about the tech/framework you will be working with in the position, maybe some advanced questions about the language itself.

>>29789294
yes total rugpull pajeet scam desu

>>29789294
math -> pure math phd -> dropped out -> researcher/programmer for a few years -> NEET

No lmao, still make just under six figs

>chemistry

biggest regret of my life

>>29792026
>accelerated online BSCS degrees (western governor's university, etc.)
Wait, is this shit accredited and everything? Seems really cheap too. Where's the catch?

>>29790495
Same. I’m a math/cs major and Econ minor. My cs classes are absolute torture and thinking of having to be a wagie codemonkey when I graduate is not appealing to me at all. I’d rather find a way to work my way into some cushy finance job

>>29792026
The general plan is to self teach, and I've found some great resources, but I'm really concerned about turning those skills into a job. Also concerned about which path to take considering how labor intensive this journey will be (web dev? cyber security? IT shit? blockchain? Solidity? data analysis?)
I'd want to study full time so I'm trying to make a solid plan before jumping ship at my current job.

>>29789294
Yes I did and I want to kms every single day. The only reason I'm intent on making it is to gtfo out of this shit profession and never write a line of code again.

no, industrial engineer

I didn't major in anything. Luckily I put my life savings ($14k) into BTC in 2012.

>>29789877
The first time I saw fizzbuzz on an interview I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's ridiculously basic. I would fail you for having the smallest error in your solution for fizzbuzz. There is absolutely no excuse.

>>29791847
dude, i can assure you anyone who is semi good at competitive programming is gonna be able to write "a practical task" like fizzbuzz lol

>>29789294
No Communication major, so let me communicate to you how much of a retard I am for picking that major.

>>29792071
Have these shitty bots always been here? Is it some kind of long game meta FUD thing to muddy the waters for actual scam posts? I am a programmer this is not off topic

It’s a shit degree desu. If you want to be a wagie, the pay can be decent. But most likely Rajesh can code better than you, or at least get paid a fraction of your salary. So why should they hire you? It’s not cost effective, the employer is only paying you since he profits off you.

The real redpill is starting your own business. Short term pain, long term gain. You have been brainwashed to think that being a wagie, getting a good degree was your only hope. The golden chains you wear are self imposed.

>BS in quant econ
>honors with published thesis
>Math minor
>graduated in march 2020
>still unemployed

>>29789294

Nope. Communications.

Still make 150k a year. Degree isn't worth shit. Acquire certs and learn to interview.

I'm majoring in electrical engineering instead of CS because I think I can learn CS by myself.
Did I fuck up?

>>29790028
Can you get into any finance related jobs from there? I am pondering between finance and some stem degree

>>29789294
Nah I got into Hack Reactor and during precourse realized I didn't want to be a fucking code monkey so I quit
got enough money from crypto to retire anyway. Gonna write novels, fuck yeah.

>>29791741
you really over estimate college graduates anon, odds are the comp sci kids are just idiots in denial

>>29793014
Where do you live?

>>29789294
No that’s gay, I majored in accounting

>>29792046
What is there not to understand?
I'm also not from the US but I know it. And obviously fizzbuzz seems to be problematic for applicants, see >>29789664
Or to quote the guy who came up with the idea of using fizzbuzz for interviews:
>Most good programmers should be able to write out on paper a program which does this in a under a couple of minutes.
>Want to know something scary ? – the majority of comp sci graduates can’t. I’ve also seen self-proclaimed senior programmers take more than 10-15 minutes to write a solution.

Accounting, now I now how to avoid taxes

>>29793281

>Fizz buzz is a group word game for children

I'm losing my shit. I suck dick at coding but I could do this with one hand tied behind my back

>>29792988
>just start your own business bro
Doing what? Only 25% of all businesses see 15 years, the rest is in a worse hell than any wagecuck. And even if you succeed, you will be paying interests on your initial bank loan forever.
Self employment is a meme.

>>29789294
No I fight for Israel as a officer

imagine majoring in computer science when most jobs dont even require a degree

>>29789294
didnt make it

got a F in computer science 101 in university

>>29793408
i graduated with honors and all i remember is how to read financial statements and understand certain ratios
waste of 4 years and still working retail lmao

>>29789294
Environmental studies and computer science double major AMA

>>29793667
Wow you just killed my hopes at getting a job, but i don’t even like accounting anymore, I wanna get into a finance job

>>29792987
wtf r u talking about newfaggot

Im in investment banking now and want to kys everyday, so I might be better off in retail actually

>>29792988
>most likely Rajesh can code better than you
You have to be really bad for this to be true.
Also, there is more to the job than coding. Atleast where I work we have to very clearly document every fix, feature addition with as much detail as possible. Demoing the product, planning the implementation of changes to a huge codebase (10+ year old ongoing project).
Just a few things that you would not want a Rajesh doing. Trust me I struggle to understand what they are talking about when we get any messages from them.
>>29793407
What I'm talking about is that he didn't say anything about not understanding fizzbuzz, he said that he never heard of it.
>the majority of comp sci graduates can’t
Alright then, I guess I just overestimated most people who apply for these jobs.
You definitely should be able to solve it after a quick explanation as to what the task is.

i graduated with a game design degree which required me to code heftily and i still do not know how to code

>>29789294
No. In fact I never went to college at all. I'm a high school drop out.
And I still make $80k a year.

>>29793667
Im in investment banking now and want to kys everyday, so I might be better off in retail actually

Yeah and I'm an unemployed piece of shit loser

>>29793014
I’m a math/cs major and practically double majoring in Econ. I don’t understand how I would apply any of this shit to the real world and business. All we do is use Lagrange multipliers to find maximum utility or max profit for consumers/firms among other things that are completely theoretical. Who the fuck exhibits spending/production behaviors as a Cobb Douglas function? It makes no sense at all. How do you quantify utility? This is of course microeconomics. Macro wasn’t that much better and econometrics is basically just stats and probability.

>>29793086
Nah, I did electrical and computer engineering with a minor in comp sci and I have a career in comp sci now. You should be able to pick up some of the foundational CS courses on the side while you're doing EE.

If you're not too far into your degree(first or second year) you can try transitioning to CSE so you have even more options in terms of classes.

>>29792146
wanted to go for pure math phd but in the processes of getting rejected from ALMOST FUCKING EVERYWHERE since covid lowered the number of spots fuck this shit

>>29793848
I know he hasn't heard of it. But he called me a nigger for bringing up the topic (which I didn't), hence my comment regarding his mental abilities.

What are the engineering fields with pay comparable to computer science?
Pls

lol are u an idiot?
wat a’fuck ur shilling here?
I am not a retard who goes for shitcoins that they talk about here
waiting for bot ocean pre-sale and their launch
wanna trade with top bot like an expert

>>29794123
Damn man good stuff. I feel like even a masters is a safe bet. I’m still a math undergrad and low key want to kill myself. I can’t imagine going to grad school for this shit. I’m taking abstract algebra right and it’s kicking my ass. I’ve gotten an A in every math class prior from calc 1 to diff eq and linear algebra. I get into this class and was immediately humbled. I have to retake it since I stopped going to lectures.

>>29793912
It’s that bad?

>>29794277
Chemical and nuclear

>>29789664
is 14 good enough anon?
trying to get a job rn

>>29794604
Chemical engineering is a meme, u aint foolin me
Nuclear might be legit, but it's just a niche

>>29789294
Accounting.

>>29794570
Soul draining hours, but the pay is good I guess

>>29794463
lmao i remember I first took the graduate abstract algebra class since I felt like hot shit after acing every class just like you, that shit was so fucking difficult I literally felt like a complete retard. I couldn't even study without just feeling like a failure. Eventually I got the hang of it and managed to get an A. Honestly just keep doing problems. The way it worked for me was the quarter AFTER i took an algebra class, it clicked in my head, like when i took ring theory groups clicked, when i took galois theory field theory clicked etc

>>29794463
i researched abstract algebra just now since i hadn't heard about it, absolutely fascinating. I feel like I'd be able to wrap my head around it with some serious study and examples, but just skimming it, it's quite advanced stuff for sure

>>29793912
Is it that way in smaller firms too? Are people who work in wealth/asset management miserable and work long hours as well?

>>29789294
electrical engineering

what should I major in so I get to research the brain? and can I make money out of it?

>>29794827
It’s not a meme at all, it’s just not a saturated field so the pay is better than mechanical/civil/electrical. Chems aren’t just limited to oil either

>>29789294
I got my IT certs. Way better than wasting time and money going to school.

>>29794944
more of an analysis person myself but algebra truly is fascinating, starting from scratch and seeing what we can build up only through axioms actually is astounding. Try learning some topology, it's also interesting imo but im a complete nerd about math

>>29789294
Psychology-> dropped out > electrical engineering -> dropped out -> med school -> dropped out -> attempted rope -> self studying full stack web atm, bash and grinding leetcode, getting to cs by 2nd quarter to leave my country in 3.5 years

>>29795083
you mean topology as in like vertex maps? I do 3D modeling, I'll have to look into that, thanks fren

>>29795104
Which country are you from anon? Are you from Southern Europe

>>29789294
Only get a degree if it's from a top school with a good recruiting pipeline. Otherwise just self-teach and get a job first.
If you got a CS degree and aren't making 200k+ a year first job out of graduation, you shouldn't have done the degree.
>>29793014
> meme degree
> probably a shitty state uni
> no internships
Kek, literal dogshit. Go do a CS Master's at Stanford or something and maybe someone will hire you.
>>29793667
I feel so bad that people fall for the "just get a degree meme" this badly.

>>29794919
Yeah man I go to ucsd. I transferred here and felt like a dumb fuck ever since lol. My first upper division math class was mathematical reasoning which was basically proofs using arithmetic “there exists a positive integer n such that blah blah blah” and it wasn’t that bad but it was definitely a wake up call that upper division math is nothing like what I’m used to. I’m still getting the hang of it and I think I have it. I’m good at math but I’m just in it cause saying I’m a math/cs major feels good lol. Hopefully I can land some sort of quant job after this but I have no idea where to start. Have you considered that route yet?

>>29794944
It’s pretty fucking brutal not gonna lie. I’m taking modern applied linear algebra next quarter which I feel like will be cool cause linear algebra is actually really interesting.

>>29789294
Yes

>>29795157
that's more graph theory. Topology starts with the problem "what is the minimum amount of structure we need to distinguish points", and runs from there, kinda like how algebra starts with "here's a ring/group/field, what can we learn?"

>>29792388
it's not as rigorous as a traditional school but it's accredited and most employers won't care. when i say it's not as rigorous i mean, for example, that you don't have to take a classes on parallel computing, operating systems, networking, etc. like you would in a traditional BSCS program.

>>29792498
i bounce between working on actual, real world projects (just stupid shit, any type of website that demonstrates you understand how to make CRUD on the front end and back end with user authorization, etc.) and learning basic data structures & algorithms and practicing some leetcode easy/medium. i don't plan on targeting FAGMAN type companies because i'm not smart enough/experienced enough but it seems all companies are asking basic leetcode type questions these days, so it's probably a "must" to know it.

>>29795281
ay I go to UCI lol I loved my abstract math class and was the main reason i wanted to do pure math. I considered selling my soul for money via quant shit but honestly it's so fucking boring. I took some financial math classes and i hated them. But crypto/making money is always fucking fun lol, and some of the theory like Black Scholes is interesting

cybersec chad reporting in!

Going into economics. Am I safe bros?

>>29795545
Hell yeah man. That makes me feel better about going to UCSD lol. Sometimes I regret not going to an easier school. The UC system is fucking brutal sometimes. I equate it to a college athlete who was the man in college (CC and high school for us) and making it into the nba and realizing they’re not shit anymore compared to the other players like Lebron or whatever lol. I’m minoring in Econ and even those classes are a thousand times harder than community college econ classes. I can’t wait for some of the electives though. Did you take game theory at all?

>>29795712
is this what bams mind looks like?

>>29795676
This is part of the reason poorfag families stay poorfags; because they have no way to accurately value higher education. The last 4 years of your life are basically worth 0 right now, and won't be worth anything until you actually build up work experience and need the paper (assuming that degree requirements aren't phased out by then, which they may be). Do you have any actual skills? Did you get anything from your internship, what did you do there? Are you only applying in your general vicinity or are you shooting resumes everywhere?

Not trying to be a dick by the way, I'm from a poorfag family too, and you unfortunately got pushed down a garbage path by people that didn't know any better.

>>29795712
devops/sre if you wanna be more than a code monkey

Get into consortium tier blockchain dev. R3 Corda for example. It's easy as shit, but large institutions are using this for DLT pilots.

>>29795885
not game theory explicitly, but I've taken some probability classes. I really liked my pure math electives though, since i want to do pure math even tho grad school apps are fucking me. I went to a really competitive high school desu where almost everyone else went to an Ivy or a top 10 college, so desu most of the UC classes were kinda easy for me since i got shit on in high school (Bay Area)

>>29795676
>three classes of just fucking isoquants
Lmaooo. How the fuck can I go to a business and calculate their isoquant? You need that to find the tangency condition right? Or how do I know if a business exhibits Cobb Douglas or CES behavior? Like this shit is utterly useless. I can tell somebody I studied economics but I wouldn’t feel comfortable answering people’s economics questions. I feel like the only people who can are people who have PhDs or a masters in Econ. I’m just hoping that having that minor on my resume makes people think that I’m good at business or something.

>>29795566
what is the pay like?

>>29795281
You should have had an internship lined up this summer at either top tech or a quant firm this summer if you want to do quant stuff post-grad.

>>29795698

Am I gonna make it? What am I in for?

I did. Double degree comp sci and eng. Following the eng route was the worst mistake of my life. All my friends who did comp sci are on 300k at google. Just fml.
Thinking about fomoing back into cs with a masters at age 35. Hopefully I'm not too old.

>>29796228
Because universities mainly teach you theoretical shit that only applies to academia. The only people who really know what they’re talking about are those that actually get their hands dirty and work a hands on job that applies those things. I don’t think any of us actually work in finance. There are some but most of us don’t.

>>29796483

JS is so much easier than C++ because no memory management and no pointers. Also HTML is also so easy it's not even a programming language.

>>29796450
If you wanted to be a portfolio manager you should have been looking for an analyst or IB job as an entry point, just like the ones you described... The alternative path is quantitative research, but you'd really want to do your PhD before then unless you've been doing competitive math your whole life up to this point.

>>29792942
Same here. We're fucked. It's basically a degree equivalent to gender studies in the job market.

We compete in the very low hiring job market with a bunch of social normie femoids. I hate it so much. No idea what to do after I graduate

You're gonna make it friend. I wouldn't totally fuck off, the material should be fun to learn regardless of whether you need it or not.

>>29797199
If you want to see physics majors go to the more autistic boards

>>29796990
How long does it take to be good at python to be able to write a decent bot

>>29789294
Yes. Don't know if I'd recommend it, I liked it but you won't just step right into a job like they used to say you could these days

>>29797199
I'm doing a PhD in Physics. Applied shit, mostly experimental, some computations strewn in.

>Jobs
no

>>29795538
>Computer Engineering
>End up a mediocre EE and a mediocre programmer
Are things completely different in the US or something? I was considering Comp Eng but there's like no job opportunities and the ones that exist pay peanuts

>>29797127
because i liked sleeping, drawing and reading maths papers instead of writing emails updating databases for a whole year... yawn

math major
unemployed 0k starting

>>29789294
I did, it's pretty sweet.

Professional who actually gets paid for this here, ama.

>>29797403
for the kind of person who asks this question? many decades i would say

>>29789294
if you don't major in maths AND cs, you're a midwit

>>29797582
i went for engineering physics but i have no idea what im gonna do for a job
i just liked the name

>>29789576
Basedly needful sir

>>29789294
I finished school at 22 and now I've been working as a software developer for 5 years. So yea, but not deep enough knowledge of crypto yet.

>>29789294
Nah, I majored in Informatics which is basically the ease-peasy yuro version of CS. I'll get a comfy gov job at the end of my studies and never need to learn anything again.

>>29797713
I wanna get into coding, just so I can write a fucking bot. Give a simple answer. I have no coding background in the past

>>29797672
please sir calculate covariance of every coin so i can hedge

>>29798030
You know there is a whole security aspect of using a bot, right..? Take it from a deep web user.

>>29798030
do you actually know any maths as well? or are you dumb?

>>29798192
Have a bachelor's in health sciences. Decent at math and did python, HTML intro back in the day.
>>29798116
Anywhere I can read up more about this to get what you mean by security aspects of using bots?

>>29798116
fuck that actually made my asshole tingle slightly... what happened? will i be okay with a local machine?

>>29798030
Take a 4 year program at your local uni then.
Bootcamp only works if you have been coding for a while

I majored in it and then dropped out before receiving my degree because I already had a full time job where I was learning more at a faster rate than in school. It was honestly a colossal waste of time. Now I'm working for a Fortune 5 company, so that goes to show how useful a degree is.

>>29789664
>i only trust chad nerdcoders that started coding at age 12

12 is late, I started at 9, CS @ university by 15, you will never make it

I have a PhD in psychology. About the only useful skill/outcome I got out it was programming, because we used to code up experiments in a scripting language.

>>29798288
That depends on how you are going to use this bot. If it's illegal then you have to hide it's tracks. And that's more difficult then you think. And sending a lot of legal request to a service can also be illegal. Also depends on how many request etc.

>>29798432
Fuck that shit. I'm 27 already, I'm not a dumb nigger and can learn stuff relatively quick.
I just happened to pick a major which I hate and has no scope in my country (Canuck).
I will most likely just learn it on my own, at least the basics and then join a boot-camp to enhance my learning.

>>29789294
Yes, 8 years ago. I still work on the field and have made a career out of it but the concept of quitting and foLloWiNg mY dReAmS is still strong in my mind and I might just do it this year. Only reason I went into it is because it was easy and paid well but things aren't the same anymore with all the added responsibility.

>>29789294
I studied languages OP :)

Degree is in econ, took a lot of CS and natural science classes. Now work as a software engineer and also a real estate agent.

>>29789294
Yes. Work from home is fucking alright, got to play a lot of CoD.
Why do you ask?

>>29798489
I think a degree is useful to have for moving countries and things like that. As for teaching you what you need to know at work, we'll it's a university not a trade school

>CS

You’re just asking to be a wagie your entire life

Electrical engineering. Digital systems design. Hardware description languages. Whatever. It's mildly amusing for my autism, but SARS-2 made very conscious of death and how short our lives are, and I now regret not dedicating my life to my passions. That's why I got into investing/crypto. That's why I wanna make it.
>>29789967
Saved

CS genius here, started CS @ 15, dropped out because it was all material I already knew, and now I work as a software/electrical engineer, ironically including a contract at the university I went to (and dropped out of). AMA

>>29792800
Isn’t there a trade off depending on your method? Speed vs maintainability being the main one. Idk haven’t been to /g/ since 2013

>>29798751
can i break into real estate? im handsome and white but not friendly or tall
live in rich australian area

>>29798981
fizzbuzz is a Kobayashi Maru.

I majored in supply chain and I learn whatever computer shit I need to as I come to it. I'm impressively capable (to my Boomer bosses) with nothing more than a minor amount of curiosity and ability to Google. Guess what, 95% of middle America still email one another Excel files, the bar isn't that fucking high.

To me, learning computer science agnostic of any actual industry is like majoring in "power tools" and thinking you're going to figure our carpentry or welding on the job site. Your entire plan better be getting in at a FAANG company or you're going to be in a bread line with Pajeets.

>>29789294
Yeah but I dropped out before learning how to do anything useful.

no, i dropped out of high school

now i make 250k/yr and have millions of dollars

>Did History and Classics at University
>Bluffed my way into a frontline IT job at a school
>Kept getting promoted due to connections and general good work
>Now lead the IT department with £60k income at 26
The job's comfy but boring now and I won't get anything better with my degree so I'm stuck. Honestly still don't know how I ended up in this situation

>>29790015

Fucking dumbass. Computer science is about computation theory. Any good degree will teach you abstract concepts that will allow you to run circles over regular software engineers.

>>29798926
whats it like being lonely?

>>29799463
i have two spare copies of knuth
do you want them

first year in uni and I can't be bothered to do any of the work... Assignments are piling up and I'm missing some of them. I've taken an interest in stocks and cryptocurrency though. Computer security degree AIGMI?

>>29796039
on hackernigger you often see faggots who try to justify getting into debt for recreational degrees

It's absolutely laughable.

Also I've grown to despise coding but I think I've been filtered in most other degrees... I've been thinking about trades but idk... It's like im living live through a third person view and im not in control

>>29789294
Yeah, I did, got a bachelor's and master's degrees in it, but because I made the mistake of being born a cis-hetero white male patriarchy scum, no one will hire me. Especially now that Biden has opened the H-1B floodgates again.

>>29789294
No, I had sex before college.

>>29793974
its literally talmudic bullshit, i cant belive i majored in it. had to learn CS to get a job thankfully ive always been good at math. i took Math-Econ technically , which is arguably worse, since i also had to learn things like abstract algebra which are even more abstract. i dont want to trash higher mathematics, but after years of bulllshit in econ and learning aobut group theory and whatnot i have serious fatigue to anything remotely theoretical.
>Who the fuck exhibits spending/production behaviors as a Cobb Douglas function
jesus christ you are giving me PTSD, i wish i could find my professors and club them on the head for forcing me to do this bullshit, peak of autism and insanity no wonder jews excel in this stuff, you have to be a neurotic divorced from reality to believe in these fables

>>29789294
No, I actually want to have a job in the future when machines start replacing us

>>29789294
Aerospace engineering degree. Self taught developer working from home making six figs. Comfy. But help /biz/ lately I’ve been considering going for a masters in CS for a more foundational base of knowledge. It seems retarded though because I’d have to quit my job and give up at least two years worth of pay. Is it worth it? Also I live in USA and would be considering international schools cause it seems fun.

>>29799463
This, seriously. I worked with a couple of guys who had "been doing this for years". They were the ones who designed the system we were all beavering away putting together. The system was memory-constrained and was almost unusable because of it. I came up with a way to reduce memory usage by, no shit, 98%.

Then they refused to implement it because they didn't want to be made to look bad. I got terminated not long after. Oh well.

Masters Degree. Work as a consultant- earning over 125k /year

>>29800113
If all you want is the knowledge, just do MIT OCW video classes in your spare time and read the textbooks. If you can do math, there's nothing actually hard about CS. In the end it's all just 1's and 0's.

If you need/want the credential, there are online programs that you might be able to do in the evenings and on weekends, dunno. Depends on how they're structured. Might take you four years instead of two.

>>29789294
Yes.

>>29792046
>Also, I can't see it being useful at all, if you are applying for a programming job it's pretty much implied you know how to list a few numbers that are divisible by 3, 5, or both. On interviews here they usually ask specific questions about the tech/framework you will be working with in the position, maybe some advanced questions about the language itself.
A lot of pajeets are great at BSing if you don't ask actual, technical problems. Also, asking about specific frameworks or languages is dumb because any competent engineer can learn a new language/framework. At the FAANGs I've worked at/interviewed with, the emphasis is always on algorithmic and architectural design questions, and literally no one gives a shit if you have prior experience with Objective-C or Go or whatever.

>>29800494
Yeah I mean I know all the knowledge is out there and I can literally watch world class lectures on the subject. But it’s definitely not the same as being immersed in the environment, working alongside others, having relationships in the field, and of course the stupid piece of paper at the end. So I guess I don’t “only” want the knowledge.

>>29789294
No I majored in Management Information Systems. I am your boss, no we cant extend the deadline, its still due Monday. Have a nice weekend, I'll be on the golf course.

>>29789294
How much is mid level salary or entry level salary ?

>>29801160
Pajeets are the kings of bs when it comes to programming. Their entire system is not designed to learn or teach but simply to do the best at looking good on resumes and admissions into schools. Most I have worked with have an extremely shallow understanding of anything they’re doing.

>>29789294
I actually did but realised I didn't want to be a wagie code monkey.

>>29792500
Kek is it really that bad?

>>29791741
it's something we were taught in like week 1 of our CS course

i mean a lot of us made really fucky solutions at the time, because it was like our first time coding ever, but after an hour or so at it i think everyone had managed perfect solutions.

and we were retards who'd never coded before in our lives. any programmer with even a few weeks' experience should be solving it perfectly within 5 minutes.

>>29791021
no, unless you're a loser

>>29793246
Almost fell for the code meme. I got a comfy job teaching others software and helping them when theirs problems with it.

>>29789294
MS Physics instead, but took quite a few C++/Fortran classes along the way. Blew past all the CS majors in those classes and I should have swapped over, had a natural talent for it, but did not want to swap majors. Self taught myself JAVA in grad school, never coded since...........
What is the standard OOP taught now? Is it stil C++ or JAVA based?

>>29789294
>almost 24 and never went to college autistic retailfag

>>29798854
I would bet with my experience I would be able to get most jobs without a degree, regardless of what country. I’ve been doing this shit for 10 years now and have done Full Stack and DevOps the entire time, so I’ve used mostly all hype technologies.

>>29792244
This, but I failed out senior year

>>29801947
>JAVA
>OOP

>>29802209
Java is quite possibly the gayest language in the world. Even C#, fucking Pajeet central, is better.

i heard that R and haskell are important in the finance world
truth or lies?

>>29801231
Kek, hope you actually get a job fren.

>>29801231
Dunno what company you want to work for. Everyone of my superiors up to the CEO has a CS degree

I work in a factory and it's unironically my favorite job I've ever had. People are chill, no PC bullshit, getting jacked just going to work, getting paid more than I did in IT. It's fuckin tight bois.
