The way you put it there makes me seem pretty bootstrappy btw.
Boostrappy, just bitter about it.

I just said, I'm not pursuing any of the fellowship offers because I'm working in this stinky call center dungeon.What are you doing a PhD in, Mist?
Yeah, that's retarded.She works in a quasi HR arena where she does some of the interviewing and the things she says people come in expecting is laughable. "Hi, I have a business degree, no experience. Don't know what you make or how you make it. But I was thinking CEO, president, or some upper management posistion". Umm yeah ok, good luck with that.
Hmm, what city you in? If you have a CS degree in any decent sized city it is very easy to get a job. If you don't mind relocating it is even easier.I have a degree in CS, Statistics, and a masters in educational psychology, and 6 years previous IT experience
Personally, I have no development experience outside of a classroom, hence why I am stuck in IT jobs instead of being able to pursue development jobs.Hmm, what city you in? If you have a CS degree in any decent sized city it is very easy to get a job. If you don't mind relocating it is even easier.
I have a CS graduate degree and have never updated my LinkedIn because I don't have to. Recruiters from Google, MS, Boeing, Amazon, Infinity Ward, a bunch of mobile game companies, and multiple Universities have reached out to me, without ever having submitted an application to them. In fact, Google and Amazon contact me every ~6 months or so to see if I'm interested because I'm in their database. Big companies are literally begging for developers right now.
If anyone wants a job working as a programmer or artist on Unreal engine projects in Orlando, I'll hook you up right now. Just PM me. We are *always* looking. If you have experience in one or more of the following, it will only increase your chances. We love generalists: Unreal Engine, C++, C#, WPF, Flash/ScaleForm, MySql, TCP, UDP. For artists we use 3D Studio and PhotoShop only. But you can use any side tools or plugins of your choice.
That wasn't really my take away from the book.![]()
This is my contribution. So much of "success" is just dumb fucking luck.
You have a degree in CS and stats at a time when every company is falling over backwards to suck the jizz out of anything with "data" attached to it and you can't get a decent job? You have not even attempted to look.Yeah, that's retarded.
The flip side is that I have a degree in CS, Statistics, and a masters in educational psychology, and 6 years previous IT experience, and I work 12+ hour shifts in a windowless call center where a urinal is leaking into the wall behind me, soaking into the carpet and puddling under the wall.
