I have a bachelor's and masters in mechanical engineering and currently have a software engineering role that I've been in for 5 years. Since July 2019 I have been applying to entry level, mid-level and senior positions trying for a new role. I've had 3 interviews out of 170 applications.
Because of this, I've applied to a master's program for computer science because it seems to me that my lack of a CS degree is holding me back.
I have degrees and work experience, but no one wants to hire me.
Just my personal experience not having a CS degree at all.
- the_only_law 6y agoEh, I'm not going to tell you not to get a Master's, there's sure as hell some cool programs I've sen out there personally. But the entry level can be hell, especially if you're mass applying. It can be a numbers game sometimes.
- dhanna 6y agoIt can also be the exact opposite. A targeted approach that leveraged my here and now skillset and long-term technical interests is what worked for me.
- chunkles 6y agoI'm trying to play a little bit of the numbers game, but more focused as you've said on the skillset/interests. It's discouraging at times, but I'm keeping at it.
