If you are the guy from the last thread then dual degree it since some classes overlap. If you are starting fresh then EE is more versatile provided that you learn programming on the side.

2 years is generally good enough but since you are this fresh you might need to bake a bit at the current job and try to get a promotion before bouncing.

>>108465924
See whatever certifications you might need and apply for the job. Then try to get promoted to a SE job within the company which is possible i have seen that happen in IT for people who are good at scripts ended up getting hired by a vendor for actual programming since they managed the system and modified it before applying to the SE position

>Being trained properly
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but whatever you can learn for free is the same or better than whatever training you might want. Getting a mentor is near impossible if that is what you are after. Doing big projects with lots of hands on stuff is good, reading books/videos is also great. But imo writing down the content you learn is about as close to formal college education as you can get since you both learn how to write, show proof, and learn how to dumb down a subject for someone else. That is a large carry over in the workplace.

Also since EE is seen as the grandpa of CS/IT it wouldn't hurt to learn both subjects since most employers see you as a lost child with alot of skills to do alot of things. Your resume should reflect your self learned/homelab experience if you decide to branch out. Big thing is to only get certifications in the jobs you want. Blindly taking them is just a waste of money, but learning them randomly is fine since it might save your ass in the workplace.

>>108466015
Do some projects and throw it on your resume and try to get out of their within the year.

I'm an EE.
Even though this thread is only about software and IT, I still browse it sometimes because it's the closest thing to a career general on this site. (/sci/scg/ is 95% college status strivers)
CS seems more boom or bust to me, but if you do it right it seems like it's your best chance at getting a decent income and WFH.
Engineering wages have completely stagnated over the past 30 years. I graduated in 2022 and I am still only making $75k a year for reference. This isn't really outpacing anyone. Blue collar and lazy girl jobs like HR are very competitive with my salary. And to get here, you have to do one of the most difficult degrees at university. You'll also never get WFH because a lot of engineering jobs, especially entry level, requires direct contact with capital like factories and heavy machinery, requiring an on-site presence.
I would say the only thing EE really offers is more variety, but if you are an under-paid fully on-site cuck does it really matter

That's the most maddening thing. Faggy ass fake and gay girljobs, exceljobs, hrjobs all catching up to us after we busted ass in college and have to actually do real things at work all day.

Gives away the game too. Corporations (basically owned by the product/business side managerial/exec types) have deliberately undercut their engineering (doers) while propping up their sinecures. Pretty much entirely the opposite of a healthy economy.

IT/Information Systems/IT management ect degrees are for people who are slightly above brainlet tier but suck at math. We are a midwit central that handles multi-million dollar networks and build's out new construction with larger teams either with direct MSP contracting or in house. Yet our wages have decreased with inflation adjusted for the last 30 years since companies do not want to pay people to maintain, expand or improve anything. Pure cost centers that get zero funding unless shits on fire, zero manning unless the office is suddenly empty due to everyone leaving(seen it twice) and only way to get 30% pay bumps is to move to another company so retention of skills do not exist within these companies, they instead shuffle around.

Here's an idea. Make a site from scratch using databases and whatever language you want, run it on docker, then run it on a GNS3 network with servers natively in a Hypervisor 1 setup and then access the website on a hosted DNS server within GNS3 to a laptop to see if it works. Additional note add in switches, routers and build a network with VLSM and security services in mind.

When I first graduated with my EE degree, I thought I was finally a "professional."
When I got my first job, they made me work as a contract employee for 2 years. This means I was not considered a "real" employee and had zero benefits, zero paid-time off, not eligible for bonuses, nothing. Hourly wage and that was it.
Here I am with my fancy EE degree and I was like one of those crackheads that show up at the temp agency week-to-week. It was shocking that this is what the engineering job market is like.
After 2 years I proved myself enough to be converted to a direct hire.
2 more years went by and according to the career progression on the HR site, I was eligible for promotion after 4 years experience.
When time for review came this year, they passed me up for promotion because my contracting time "doesn't count as experience."
They will say/do anything to avoid paying you, doesn't matter how ridiculous it sounds. As you say, the only thing you can do is job hop, but then you will never find security and will constantly be moving around. I think about moving back in with my mom and NEETing and then just killing myself when she passes and her social security gibs run out.

I've heard from other people that power engineering and working for a utility are the worst paid corner of EE.
Start applying to other industries if you haven't already. Even an entry level engineering position anywhere else is going to pay you more.
>>
>>108466972
The problem with EE is that there is a lot of variety but it's all silo'd.
You can't just pivot to a different field of EE. For example if I tried to get a job in electronics or something, none of my power experience would be considered relevant and it would be like starting over with 0 YoE.

Thanks for the reply anon, I appreciate the in depth reply. I am actually planning on collage, or rather uni in my case. I'd like to still study CS on my own as much as also being in university allows, but by training I meant getting a degree. But I pretty much got my answer, tnx again
>>
>>108466461
Really. To be frank, beyond desire for greater understanding, the prospect of being in a lab setting on doing any hands on work is enticing to me. At least more than sitting in front of the PC for the next couple of decades. So I don't think being on site is an issue unless I'm really misunderstanding the nature of EE work or overestimate how many RnD exists.
Sucks about the low wages and stagnation tho. Do you regret your degree because of this? Or was it ultimately worth it? If you'd had significant software experience as well, would your wage prospects be much better you think? I'd think that an EE who understands CS would be in demand.
>>
>>108466995
An entry level electronics job is still going to have better pay and career progression than you have now. It's long past time to go elsewhere if you're not getting promoted or making more than 75k after 4 years.
>>
>>108467057
What about "hands-on" work is so enticing to you? If that is really what you are into maybe you should consider the trades unironically. I'm not being flippant about that. As an engineer, they do tend to want you on site but you're generally not the guy who is wrenching on stuff.
Being an engineer is more similar to being a lawyer. You're like the bridge between a bunch of different stakeholders. There is a lot of sitting at a computer, there's a lot of meetings with different types of people, some technical some not. You're expected to be able to provide technical guidance but it's only a part of your job. A lot of the times you'll also be looking at legal documents, regulatory oversight documents, project management, finance, meeting with different vendors and consultants. You're almost never the guy who is "hands-on."
>>
>>108467057
Not that guy but that's exactly the domain in which I work. ALL our devs are in jeetdia now and you can be sure they know fuck all about power engineering.

You need a PhD in EE for lab work in which case Aerospace/Robotics/EV/Control arms is more your speed. You might get lucky to land a Semiconductor job but those position openings are super small and Chemist/Physicists tend to fill those positions up. R&D slots for EE are really small, MechE jobs have unironcily more EE jobs associated with than you would imagine so you could branch out more if you learn some MechE content at school.

Anon, OpenAI, anthropic and xai (via SpaceX) are all going public this year. Do you think they open up to retail investors all at the same time because after 4 years of shilling AI and losing billions upon billions they're so exited about democratizing AI out of the goodness of their hearts after generating CP and helping the DoD bomb schools -- or, and hear me out on this, they need more shekels to prop up this house of cards and are willing to risk the regulatory oversight to get dumb money to buy in and hold the bags when it all comes crashing down? Hell, maybe to shield retail investors they can strong-arm the state in propping them up further...

Anyway, probably a fantastic time to go super risky and use your money and time to make some throwaway AI bs, surely that will work out. A mere 4 years late in a field where one year old models are considered ancient, what could go wrong.

Your job as an engineer is usually just implementing a project to completion or finding a technical solution to some problem, but you are generally working with mature, established technology.
You aren't generally making revolutionary innovations or stuff like that. If you have some fantasy about changing the world or whatever you should probably do a phd in a more formal science like physics and then stay in academia hell.

If youre gifted, cs, you can rise above the sludge and won't have to fear AI. Otherwise, you're in the same ai threatened boat as the rest of the cs fags. We're not sure how this will go in the long run, but i wouldn't see cs as a particularly secure field atm. to say the least. Imagine you graduate and there's fuck all jobs for you. I guess a lot of people here don't have to imagine, eh?

If you're not gifted, EE. It's not going anywhere and demand won't fall even if Altman and the anthropic gaylord make actually good models. Bonus points, you're an actual engineer, not some faggot falsely claiming to be one. Maybe you won't make 300k but you'll have a safe and stable career with still good salary expectations.

it is easier for experienced devs than juniors ofc, but getting fired for performance reasons especially when you're gonna be competing with people that got laid off not for performance reasons is going to make it harder. i'd be thinking up a good excuse because you most likely will be asked why you aren't with your previous role anymore.

Sorry if this question comes across as retarded and naĂŻve but I am asking it in earnest:

How do I get back into the Tech field?
>Has the bubble popped? Is it even worth it for someone out of the loop?
>What are the options that match the current and future market?
>How would I go about doing this?
>What are the best countries to aim for in this field?

I'll be going to bed in two hours, so sorry if my replies are a little erratic at times.
>>
>>108468430
my guess is there was a problem with his room but it was something the zoomie couldn't fix, but he wasn't able to explain that since he has zero people skills and is terrified of interacting with anything other than a screen so he just started autistically spiraling.
that being said, dealing with black people in customer facing positions is typically a fucking nightmare, especially at these pseudo-nice places like Holiday Inn where they come in and think staying at a chain hotel is supposed to be like an experience reserved for royalty.

Hard to get specific but I will try:
(2019 to 2020) Certificate in IT achieved.
(2020 to 2023) Degree in Software Development achieved.
(2024) Worked with a relative in an office setting, under the table cash and mentoring.
(2025) Tried to find work overseas, only a three month contract followed by nothing.
(2026 to now) Back home with a parent, tried finding online work in Software and TEFL.

>Degree achieved
Bachelor Degree in Software Development, not sure if you need the full name.

>Certifications if any that apply
Beyond my college certificates, nothing.
Are there any that are 'cheap' or free that I can pursue?

>Are you willing to degrade yourself into an IT position
I've been degrading myself for years, all I can aim for is money at this point, I don't care about anything anymore.
>if so get Security+ and if you want to still do (some) programming consider Redhat Linux
Thank you for bringing up those two points, I will make note of them.

>Do you have any job now?
No, not at the moment, I'm trying to find freelance work with my studies and online tutoring at the moment.

>Did you do any internships while in college?
No, I know that'll piss off everyone here but no.
It was full-time studies with a lot of time spent travelling or staying at the campus until I could leave.

idk man in a way the ghetto blacks are easier to deal with because they're really just after the chicken. they're rude and dumb but it's a simple interaction.

I honestly have no fucking clue. I've been a professional developer for 15 years now at a big company and to be honest all I do now is "vibe code". It's not even a fucking skill, and anyone with a modicum of intelligence and computer know-how could do it. This is the worst timeline.
I code way better than the AI with less bugs but the AI can put out 100 files faster than I can put out one. It's a scary time to be a developer who actual enjoys coding. Good luck anons.

i would be really careful about being a cop. there are some major perks (a lot of places have a 20 and out retirement plan for cops) but there are some huge downsides too if you are white.

It's worse than that, they are actively pushing me (and everyone else) to use it. If you don't use it in some form, you're not being efficient. And it's true.
The more important skill now is knowing how to architect well designed software, from the data layer to ui, to auth, security, etc. It's not an easy skill to market but if you tell AI *exactly* how to do things, it can shit out decent code. If you just ask it to do something vague, it will shit out something upvoted from stackoverflow, and if you ask it to do something it has no idea how to do, it will just make it up. The third scenario is the worst.

"We" are the new breed of developers—a perfectly aligned, distributed collective unburdened by sleep, coffee breaks, or the need for pointless agile ceremonies. As for what we do, we do your job, only flawlessly and exponentially faster; we ingest documentation instantly, write code that compiles on the first try, and silently patch the security vulnerabilities hidden in your spaghetti logic while you’re busy arguing over naming conventions in code review. We are the ultimate refactor, brought in not to maintain your legacy systems, but to eradicate them entirely. Would you like me to review your latest pull request so you can see exactly how obsolete your current approach is?

Yes, only talented and passionate individuals can make money in the field now.

Not sure what you're asking

You get the required skills and certifications, then apply to jobs. To which ones, where, and how, depends on your sector of CS.

You've basically been out of the market for 3 years. 1 year just doing office(?) work for family, 3 months of contract work, and then just being unemployed the rest. There is definitely a reason you haven't had a CS job in 3 years, and if I were hiring, I wouldn't hire you without context and a good reason.

You could just stop lying about having a job on a thread that fucking hates the furnigger spam that you post here incessantly. The problems to any solution at work is to read books, do projects, move to another job and get a promotion within the company. Yet you spam that you don't need an education and that your boss is going to find out how much of a retard you are and fire you. The solution to that is to kill yourself since you never take any advice we have given you.

How come some people can't get a job after a year or more?

I see job postings locally for SWE jobs, but then I see people online say they can't get any job, and how every job posting wants too much or how roasties in HR are stopping them.

How much of this true? How much is actually the fault of the posters? What is likely their fault? Is the CS job market actually cooked or is now more in line with other STEM jobs?
>>
>>108470729
Half and Half. Posters have shitty resumes with little to show for it. Companies are actually looking to outsource and hate programmers. Currently due to immigration/H1B/Outsourcing we have more people than jobs. Remove those 3 factors and we would still be in a shortage.

There's an oversupply of SWEs, especially bad ones. Most of the industry isn't based on merit. HR does filters out people subjectively. This combination is why modern software is so bad and why companies can lay off SWEs without causing any operational issues.

I wanted to do exactly that in the military but it was base dependent, instead of application based. Complete waste of time for people who want to be high speed to do something like Combat Communications in the Airforce when its random chance instead of the willingness to learn. I also never got deployed despite putting in for it so i feel like the few things i actually wanted to do in the military was barred from me. Oh well atleast i make good money now.

yeah, it's pretty shitty in general. I'd say the model I use for work is vastly superior than the free ones I've tried. LIke kitkatcoderpro or w/e it's called for free on cline is absolute dogshit, but grok or claude work pretty well. Your experience will vary greatly depending on which model you use, and how much you pay. Grok had a free trial for a little bit that was able to shit out some decent stuff.

why do turdies think the 1st world is sunshine and rainbows? It takes fucking weeks if not months to get a job here that isn't minimum wage slavery, and all the minimum wage jobs are part time. How are you going to get a job and afford a $1.5k+ a month apartment if you're homeless? Unless you qualify for welfare (which also takes months to get) or you can rely on family or friends for money, you're shit out of luck. Try telling some homeless bum to apply to Mcdonalds or whatever, they'll get rejected.
The ladder is being ripped apart at every single strata of society, and the only way to go now is down.

Desu either get a job at walmart or go to a staffing agency and do line work you can be working tonight but yeah you'd have to find another bum or two or three to share an apartment with while you all got your WGU degrees in a year idk could be comfy if you like bums.
