1. Y’all should always tell us your location when asking for job advice here (and probably make it easy to contact you - email in HN about field) 2. Math degree and a little experience should be enough in the current US market but again don’t know your location. Personally would not do a boot camp in your situation. Give it another couple months of applying with a focus on places where you know folks. If you don’t know folks in the industry solve that problem.
- verdverm 5y agoI second this and will add that a "career or job coach" will be worth the money. They will help you get your resume, linkedin, and such in order. The big thing they offer is experience and insights into the process, and coaching / review on e2e process. Finding a good coach is the hard part.
- m1nz1 5y agoYou’re totally right! I’m in NY. For a while I was looking only for work here, but as of a few weeks ago I’m aiming for any city. I’m an Italian citizen so I could even go to Europe hahaha. Thank you for the optimism about my position. I’m wondering how you would suggest meeting more people at companies that interest me? LinkedIn? I wasn’t a CS major so all but one of my school friends are nowhere near these industries.
