You can get closer to the technical work on actual projects too. I always spend a lot of time chatting with the architects and devs to learn how they actually do stuff. Has helped me a lot in functional roles
I would imagine you'd need to "get closer" to the technical work and gain experience/skills to get into a decent CS masters to begin with
Did finance for undergrad, no shot that I'm doing a compsci grad
I think you had to have an undergrad in Comp Sci...
Nope, just complete some pre reqs. Most master programs need about 5. Algorithms and data structure I and II, discrete math, some core Java courses, and should be good for most and of course hold a UG degree in something.
What do you mean by “getting closer”? Do you want to do technical work? Or you want to understand the terminology and details in the technical work? I know of people who have 0 technical knowledge, majored in international studies/nonSTEM and took free courses on coding/STEM related to get better understanding of the jargon.
Ya I had an accounting back ground and now my job is mostly technical/coding based. Networking is key but I also plan to do a cs / math master's program in a few years
While it might not be the best programs in the world there are tons of cs programs that realize people are interested in switching careers. The host boot campus before the program that focus on building coding/ technical knowledge.
I’m not looking at Stanford/MIT programs more Uchicago/northeaster/Georgia tech/UPenn that have programs for people looking to transition and don’t have a comp science UG
Pretty much what I want to do in the future. I would start messing around with python for example in your free time and start to build a understanding. Then see if you can find something in your organization. I went from business analyst to a more technical role and learned most of what I know now on the job.
