Considering that you have a CS degree and your current title is software engineer, it's just a matter of applying for software development jobs and interviewing well. It's hardly a big pivot.
- readonthegoapp 5y agoI suspect this sounds like a bit of a blow-off It is But it's probably also true Or at least substantially if not wholly and completely true Which no statement ever is My advice Based on my EXPERT opinion Is Do what this person said If you actually want to get hired at some point, then tell your interviewers what they actually want to hear Be a bit of a salesperson A lot of the times, imo, what I think interviewers are hoping for is someone to be alpha -- "I don't know shit about the stupid specific esoteric shit you're talking about but I can tie my gd shoelaces so I'll figure it out, ffs, wtf is wrong with you, did you bump your head as a baby?" I mean, keep it light, but your confidence will go a long way. If you're not a white male, pretend you are -- it's that kind of "I _deserve_ to be here, Fuckers" confidence that can get your hired.
