Looking for advice from full-time software engineers.
I just graduated with a degree in computer science and was immediately absorbed by a United States defense contractor. The interview process was extremely low-key and relaxed, but uninformative. They asked me some basic object-oriented questions, then shuttled me around the facility without revealing where I'd be working or what kind of work I'd be doing.
I'm a little intimidated. I earned good grades at university, but my course load was light and my curriculum was not rigorous. I mostly worked non-developer jobs to pay rent while in school, and more recently as a web developer for the government, but otherwise I haven't had time to teach myself anything I actually wanted to know. I just went through the motions, did my homework, crammed for tests and crawled out an idiot posing as an educated person. I'm going to spend the remainder of my summer brushing up on C++/Java, but other than that I'm not sure how to prepare myself for a full-time software engineering position. Any advice at all is appreciated!
