One of my dad’s coworkers is gonna teach me the ins and outs of this and I wanted to know how difficult is it to get that first job without any prior experience/degree?

Feel like this type of work can put me in a good spot as far as work/life balance if I apply myself to learning.

Thoughts?

Check out this job at Datadog: Library Software Engineer - .NET / C#

So really for majority of these companies once you get your foot in the door and have real-world experience that should be all you need to get into any other software developer positions.

Most companies are divided over whether or not you have coding in your interview process or not. I would say it would look better on you if you had coding to do as a part of your interview since you don't have the degree to show but you have the skills to.

junior level jobs no one cares about experience or degree just if ur good or not tbh should be fine as long as ur decent at c# :D

The second one is saying something about 3-5 years of experience
Should I just embellish the resume a bit?

I got Datadog stock if they hire you you best not f*** anything up man

Get hired where you can for now and grind

Dont lie on your resume man thats gonna bite u in the ass

Experience is often just a soft standard. Today I had the final interview for a job that required 3 years of experience, I only have 1 year. If you convince them you're the man for the job, you can land it. But you'll definitely want 1-2 years of experience before applying for a job that asks 3-5 years.

Wym junior level?

? They do care about degrees. That’s literally the only time they care about it.

Is this pronounced C sharp

Yes

A bit? Better put you graduated from Harvard 💯💯

You can still get hired without a cs degree but it’s gonna be a lot harder.

Junior level means entry level

I’m a software engineer, don’t use C# but for entry level jobs you better grind that leetcode basically

Ngl it’s gonna be tough if you don’t have a degree. You have to show that you can actually program way more then people that do

That being said if you have someone experienced teaching you and take learning v seriously (akin to a full time job), you can probably get a pretty good job in 6-8 months

Yea. If you have like bootcamp experience or some personal projects to show. A lot of companies won’t even look at certain applications if they don’t meet a certain req.

Doesn’t even make it to the recruiter.

they dont over here lol

No doubt in my mind they hired 2 life szn users at Fastly

I did some modding in C# for GTA IV. I watched a few tutorials on it and got the hang of it really quickly, without having any coding background.

I'm not sure how that translates outside of that environment, and I'm sure I'm missing out on a lot of advanced concepts, but it feels like a simple and effective language

Do you have a coding background?

Walking into a job like this without any idea of C# or coding may not be the best idea at all
