| Being in the industry, its location specific (like my town is a .NET shop but other cities may be Java/PHP etc), but you basically have to decide which end you want to work on. Front end - the styling, CSS, webpage delivery stack. Or the back end - data feeds, services, API's etc. I started as a back end guy but now I'm pretty much full stack (both front and back) but while it's good for my resume I'd rather do back end. Either way, web development is in demand and whether you are a DevOps guy or a JavaScript dude you will find work for sure. |

Do you have any experience in the field? If you don't, please, start with an education, and intern as often as you can. At least that's how it worked out for me. I've worked a pretty wide spectrum of things after starting uni, starting from basic web design and UI stuff, trying really corporate stuff which even included learning programming languages/techniques that were developed in the company itself (don't ever get stuck in like that), to end up a "full-stack" dev at a medium-sized company, which IMO is what you wanna aim for for a good mixture of stability and freedom to be able to affect things and make some meaningful decisions regarding your work. I got into uni, interned the first three summers, and got a properly paid job on my fourth year; ditched school as soon as I could after that. My advice: don't write a thesis if you've got a job already, unless your boss/company is super supportive about it. It's not worth anything in the end, unless you're onto something a bit more cutting-edge, like deep learning or the sorts (in which case you're probably gonna want to pursue more education or a career in academia). School's just a way to make connections, show some money-holding idiot you're into the industry and willing to whore your time to them for a pathetic rate (in the beginning). That doesn't mean you can't get tremendous benefits from going to school: there are courses that alone are worth a lot. More important than that though, at least for me, was knowing what the companies around here were looking for, as they communicate directly with our unis, basically telling them what knowledge or skills people that graduated from our uni lack. What you've worked on professionally (even interning) is what you're gonna show all your future employers when applying for new jobs, not your thesis, not your graduation papers or whatever. According to my interviewers, not one of my failed job interviews have been because of not finishing my school and thesis, but because of lack of experience in the tech they were working on.
It's gonna be a lot of work, but it's an industry that will for sure employ you if you keep at it, and at least here, it's an industry that is in constant need of new workforce, year after year, through crests and troughs. Start now, and five years from now you'll look at your current self and wonder what the was that buffoon thinking of not learning this stuff already.
But.. A fair word of warning: unless you're really interested in the field, prepare yourself for a lot of pain and frustration, a field that feels insurmountable to grasp as a whole; but it can be your first programming course that sets your mind ablaze for it. Being a truly valuable employee in this field is much like in any other: you need years of experience, good communication skills, but added, a fairly good brain too on top of some topics from CS. With that being said, you can get interesting internships and jobs with very little to no experience too, especially if there's an abundance of relevant employers in your area. Immerse yourself into it and it can really grab a hold of you, if you let it. I'm turning 30 soon, been in this field for over a decade now, and still, almost every day when I come home from work, I dabble in my freetime programming projects just because it's so interesting and creative. The best thing about it: if you're able to keep it interesting at work, you'll be working your favorite hobby as your dayjob.
Wishing you lots of luck with your current job and your endeavours in general! |

No, I thought it could have been, but I checked the dates, Jack made it at the 12th, I at the 26th, so the 19th is missing.
I think I would have noticed if there wasn't a 182, so maybe it got deleted. Massive up otherwise :haha: |
