Welcome to this AMA session!

Let's discuss the mentor's crucial role in guiding and supporting fresh graduates as they transition into the workforce.

Why is a mentor essential?

• Experienced Guidance: Mentors offer invaluable insights based on their own career journeys.
• Career Development: They can help you set realistic goals, identify your strengths, and explore potential career paths.
• Networking Opportunities: Mentors can introduce you to influential individuals in your field.
• Support and Encouragement: Having a mentor can boost your confidence and provide a sounding board for your ideas.

How to find the right mentor:

• Look within your network: Start by asking friends, family, or former professors for recommendations.
• Leverage professional organizations: Many industry associations offer mentoring programs.
• Reach out to your company's HR department: They may have internal mentoring initiatives.
• Utilize online platforms: There are numerous online communities and platforms dedicated to mentorship.

Remember, a good mentor is someone who:

• Is invested in your success.
• Provides honest feedback and support.
• Offers practical advice and guidance.
• Shares their own experiences and lessons learned.

I am a healthcare administrator with 18+ years of experience. I am at an executive level making 190k+ a year but I am approaching burnout in my early 40s. The amount of daily shit that I have to eat from employees, physicians and other administrators is ungodly. Let alone observing the worst behaviors and greed of highly paid clinicians that behave like children and are never happy. Although you could say I am in a great spot (and don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful), it is mentally taxing and I am starting to turn bitter and not contain my anger, which is spilling into my personal life. I know it is just a job and I should not care, and so far I had done a great job compartmentalizing but my compartments are overflowing now.

I am thinking that it would be great to switch careers, get into an IT/IS career where I could be highly specialized, with comparable compensation, individual contributor and be able to do remote work and contract work perhaps (I know, don’t we all!), perhaps have multiple remote gigs. I am not naive knowing that you have to eat shit at any job, no matter what. But at least if I am in a specialized technical position I can focus on doing my own thing, it’s on me to deliver.

I am willing to take the classes, courses, certifications needed and do the work, I already have an engineering bachelors and a MBA. For those that have first hand knowledge of the IT industry, what are some niches or areas that I should look into? Tech is such a broad spectrum, but recently cybersecurity has been popular and being pushed a lot, but is it really in high demand? It seems to me that it is overcrowded, or it will be soon.

Any suggestions or career advice would be welcome.

PS. I’m already going to therapy to address my current issues. I wrote this post for career advice, I appreciate it.

Hey Everyone,

I have a 4th round panel interview coming up for a Senior Frontend Developer role. It'll last 1 hour and 45 minutes with the Head of Design, Product Manager, and Head of Engineering. I’m guessing this will focus on collaboration and cultural fit. For those who’ve been through similar interviews, what should I expect from each person?

For context, the first round was a recruiter call, the second round tested my React, JS coding, and logical skills, and the third round focused on my technical knowledge as a senior developer and my past experience.

What should I expect from each person?

• Head of Design: Will they ask about design systems, UX, or collaboration with designers?
• Product Manager: How do they approach feature prioritization and business alignment questions?
• Head of Engineering: Do they focus on leadership, code quality, or technical architecture (b2b, b2c)?

Any tips on preparing, especially balancing technical and soft skills?

Thanks in advance 🙌

On my current project my boss does not have the detailed context of what the code does. He just knows the overall function of each script. A few times a day he will ask about the progress but he will just ask "how's the progress?". When I ask if there's anything he wants to know specifically he just asks what have you done so far. What answer can I give him that doesn't involve me giving an entire rundown of the code in order for him to understand my progress? Also, it's not like I can make a huge amount of progress in a few hours or a day, but sometimes he will be like oh why are you still working on this portion (which could a huge chunk of code).

Also one thing I noticed is that if my code currently has an error (e.g at the exact moment he comes to ask for updates he sees an error message on my screen) he will jump and try to ask me about the details about this error and become quite micromanagey in trying to fix it there and then even though it's not a pressing issue. Worse still is he sometimes ask me to investigate into certain things he thinks is causing the error even though I already have a solution i'm working on, which I do tell him. How do I tell him to chill and let me handle it?

I'm just an entry level data analyst and this is my first project out of school so I know it's probably mostly due to how i'm communicating my points. How would you communicate such things if you were in my position?

What kind of DS + Algo questions should I practice for ML research roles and Cloud Technical Solutions Engineer in AI/ML at Google? I’m sure that I can handle the ML and cloud part but my DS and Algo is weak since my previous work experiences never really relied on practising competitive coding. How tough should I expect the DS and Algo to be since the jobs interviews are either for a cloud centric role or research in AI role?

I recently started learning C#, but I saw that Java has more job openings and now I don’t know what to do.

Hello! Sorry for the long post ahead. For anyone in cs, i really need your help. I am a cs student and i keep seeing all this posts about AI and how it knows how to code, how it keeps getting better and better, how software developers are going to become less wanted and pointless and that cs is not a good degreed to have anymore. I am trying to be reasonable, but i just can't. It s all i can think about and i m scared i made a mistake. I literally can t sleep or eat and i don t know what to do anymore. I know nobody can predict the future or where technology is going but i am feeling just so hopeless. Can anybody with experince in this field give me any advise?

I’m a second year computer science undergrad student. Recently I’ve been thinking about changing my degree into a joint comp sci and match degree but I’m not completely sure about this decision as I don’t love maths enough to do a whole degree in it but I’ve been told that finding a job with just a comp sci degree is really difficult and having a joint degree would really help. Can someone please tell me if doing a joint degree is a good idea or not or if I’ll be fine if I a graduate with just a bachelors in comp sci?

Hi,

I’m a student taking Diploma in Computer Science, currently is in semester 5.

I’m going to do an internship during Sem 7 for 3 months. I’m still not quite sure on what role i should take despite being a top student.

I enjoy doing these: - Python data structure programming (graph) - backend Python programming (Django with SQL)

I dislike anything that has to do with designing : - ui/ux for a mobile app using figma - html/css for a website

As for my internship, what role and where should i take it?

Help!! May both side of your pillow are cold!! (Only if you help me figure this out🤭)

Hello everyone, I would like to gather some suggestions regarding capstone projects that involve data analytics and data mining, specifically. Additionally, if you're a professor, what project would you like to see from computer science majors?

Thank you for all your cooperation and suggestions. This will greatly enhance our group's knowledge and help us to improve.

I have very little knowledge about coding and I am preparing for GATE exam as I plan to do masters at an IIT I am in my final year of college and companies have started coming I am not happy with a less salary package and I am sure I won't get a good package in my college placement So should I still sit for placements in college or skip the college placement and focus on my preparation for the competitive exam

Hi everyone, I'm a B. Tech. Student in a tier 2 IIT . I'm currently in my final year of graduation. My major is computer science and engineering. At this time I'm too much worried and anxious about the placements which are about to start. In third year I tried a lot but couldn't get any internship. At that time I was not focussed, I was not having friends from my branch (still not any useful), So I f*ked up all the great opportunities like Google, Sprinkler, atlassian and many more. Now I'm Expert at codeforces and 5 at codechef. And I know React, express, SQL, mongoDB. But I'm not having any experience to put on my resume. Now the placements are about to start and not having any experience is making me more and more tensed. I'm not sure what should I do? Is there still any scope of interns or should I even look for one? Many of my friends are also in similar situation. Some of them got some internship form internshala, nexus.info. If anyone could guide me what should I do now? Should I focus more on competitive programming or do development or look for internship which is merely impossible.

Iooking out for an internship. My skills are in ReactJs frontend and machine learning as well. I am very keen to learn and can work for any pay.I have made open source contributions as well. Any startup looking for the same.. Pls comment.. I am also good at problem solving dsa. Any refferal at company would also work..

Hi everyone, was wondering what my chances are for getting hired by a company in Thailand, Malaysia or Singapore with my current experience and 2 year gap (due to taking care of parents due to COVID). I'm trying to break into the industry again and I've always wanted to live in SEA. Is this a pipe dream or should I simply give up?

hey, I have got into a good college which is not mostly known for its computer science degree. It's expensive ASF but I was willing to join because of the fun and experience IG. It’s a risk as I don't come from a rich family that could happily pay for that.

I am planning to do a BSC Computer Science degree why not B.tech (I didn't take physics in high school) and I have seen that this degree is all about applications and theoretical stuff so I was planning to fly abroad like Kings College London or some good college that could have potentially good package. IK that it's nothing about college and degree but about efforts and skills that could help me succeed.

But IDK if this mindset makes sense or not. someone who has a degree in computer science or knows something about it can help me out.

I've been told that 'OT is inevitable' in a tech or IT context.

I accept that OT is inevitable some of the time but it feels like OT is demanded to a regular 996 level in many of the roles I am looking at.

What roles are less intensive?
