My current company offers tuition assistance so may try it but it seems like to do anything with this company you need to ask your boss 5 times about it and there is a cap on earning. My only concern is that I suck at math but honestly I think it is my fault and thus why I mentioned about the certificates as I can take everything else while I brush up on math. Also it seems like with changes in the company there may be less demand for the position I am angling for at my company.

- trcarney 7y agoIt doesn't hurt to look there. I would also add your programming skills to your LinkedIn. You will get recruiters hitting you up. That's how I got my current job. I recommend doing this while actively searching. Just be aware some recruiters on there are pretty shady. With your background (business and marketing) and your ability to use python, you could look into a business intelligence or data science job as way into CS. If you decide to go this route, I would get familiar with Pandas, Numpy, and other popular data science packages in python.
- zacvivo 7y agoThat is a good point. I have been thinking of moving in that direction (or data analyst ) but trying to balance the demands of things is the biggest thing. Right now I am studying for my series 7 and the fail rates of other colleagues and my own struggles with this and it has made me reconsider the field I am in. I appreciate the insight and I think I will try to look into an Analyst type job to get on board. Thank you.
