You’re probably ass at coding bro.
CS degree will NOT prepare you for SWE

Do you think it’s so easy you just get a piece of paper and start the amazing lifestyle that techbros have?

You need to be a master of development

Anybody who works for someone else coding is a no talent hack unless it's actual software development

Getting a master's in CS is a red flag for most employers. It shows that you didn't have the grindset to start making money with a bachelor's and instead became an academia cuckold unfit for work in a private company. I'd just leave it off your resume and say you were working on a startup that failed after all the founders died in a tragic yacht accident instead.

Turing test write nigger if youre not a JIDF demoralization bot or a paid shill and ill refute any replies.


Those that acutally dont do the wfh leetcode l2code meme bullshit but actually excel in data structures, algorithms, etc. are exteremly in demand and always will be because its not learning a system.

Every single field can use algorithmic and mathametical knowledge and you can literally apply anywhere in any field. Compsci is just abstracting a field to simple terms. So i know some of you are lying

Work harder to learn proper software architecture it’s not just algorithms that’s for swe toddlers.

are you guys just retarded at actually writing production software or something? dont know hot o manage production issues, write logging for monitoring, scaling up using threads, load balancing, updating and using apis etc?

There's literally tons of jobs. Unless you're some meme'r who thought degree+leetcode = job

I get pinged daily for jobs for last few weeks i had to delete my linkedin and they still somehow find my email

literally jobs everywhere. i applied for the funsies and got a phone interview within 7 days and a IN person in 2 weeks. I can write both iOS/Android apps at a scale. deployed to production and used by tens of thousands of people (will scale to hundreds k+ but we're in AB test right now)
