I guess. But bear in mind I'm only 22, so I'm hardly all that experienced.
If you're looking to get into the programming side instead of something like databases or general system engineering, make sure you have decent programming projects to do in your spare time. Make some contributions to a FOSS project or, if you aren't knowledgeable enough to do so, read some books and work on your own stuff to fix that problem. Make a plugin for a popular program, work on some typical computer science problems, implement some data structure you've heard a lot about.
I'm going the plugin route myself now that I just lost my job.
>>54471725
i wrote a bunch of plugins for some software during my time at work. i am worried all or some of the code i wrote during my "free time" will actually need to be transferred in ownership to my employer...gah.

>I'm with this anon.. how do I into NOC tech positions. Is it really as laid back as people act like?
Back when I MUDed a lot, I used to hitch my wagon to a guild member who knew the MUD backwards. He was NOC and we played during his work hours most days.
I think he had to go safe to do work maybe two or three times a day for half an hour.
If you can't get into embedded, robotics, industrial automation, or anything else where programming is merely a means to a tangible and useful end, don't bother.
If you're another userspace/web shitter remaking the same functionality with more bloat and tracking you might as well go work in a meat processing plant where your time will be used for something that genuinely benefits humanity
The only programmers who barely get a pass on the "surviving the day of the rope" index are those who make applications solely for internal use by businesses or meta-tools that important professionals rely on.

This is most certainly a lie and a shopped image , not only does visa Inc on glass door not represent the salary stated by anon but on a fundamental level the average for a QA is between 30,000 to 50, 000 according to pay scale.
With visa the size as it is it doesn't need to pay excess for its employers, ESPECIALLY not for a graduate - it makes no sense for the salary allocation to be 50% higher for a rather entry level role for a multinational.

Yeah, a lot of people do their regression in excel and that usually means linear regression which gives very inaccurate dose-response-curves. Our tool gives you 4pl/5pl with no effort. It's getting pretty popular.

Just get yourself in the door in some shit job and then show a higher up that you can do much higher skilled jobs. For example automate part of your job to make your life easier in the shit position.

Online comments for SAP stuff is largely filled with people from India. There are also a large number of people from India involved.

if your goal is to consult and make bank and travel you should also look into healthcare companies using Epic systems. Report development is a good way to get your foot in the door for a big healthcare company and you really only need to be good with SQL to do that. Companies have to ship off employees to Wisconsin to train (I have 4 certifications and it's only been a year). The knowledge is really specialized for each application within Epic and consultants with some experience seem to always be in high demand

when I've gone up there for training everybody is in a t-shirt and jeans, which is unusual because healthcare for the most part is pretty stuffy. Their campus is really neat as well.

Been in for 4 years, but don't want to stay in and not passionate about working on aircraft to keep doing it after I get out. Gonna use my last year in to start doing school online and get some general ed knocked out. Not exactly sure what I want to study though.
