Hello, currently working as a Data Analyst for a bank and wanted to get sentiment from the wider group. I’m looking to branch into Software Development but I wanted to see if anyone had any advice and what major barriers you see or could see? I have experience in Python and SQL but nothing extensive in the OOO programming world. Wouldn’t mind staying in finance but could also move sectors if needed. Thanks!

I'm a SQL developer for our finance department. The fact that you are knowledgeable in Finance that can code and understand RDBMS makes you a unique and sought after employee. We have Finance Solutions Architects, Business Systems Analyst, ERP systems administrators, and software engineers working together to make our finance engine run. So there are opportunities out there should you decide to pursue them.

Oh, and I got into SQL working for Kaiser Permanente as an account rep. Their finance processes were manual and inefficient with multiple ways for an account rep to make mistakes. And these mistakes could be costly(including having too many would cost you your job). So why not automate it so that the account rep isn't sweating whether they put the right value in the box?

OOO is a big field, so I would say first commit to one language to learn it properly.

Developing libraries and software can be lonely and hard at times, are you sure this is something for you ?

Other than that, I would say go for it ! Download some open source GitHub project and read throughout the code base while trying to understand the code, debugging at times or even adding your own features/classes. It helped me tremendously in my own learning.

I currently work at a senior level in product management, I have around 4 years of experience in the field. I'm severely underpaid and feel quite undervalued by the company. I've also been supporting my wife who's been doing her Masters for the past 2.5 years, and being in NYC my savings are absolutely minimal. My PERM is processing so I can't even make a move for another 6-8 months and I'm scared of doing so in light of thr current job market. I'm struggling to deal with my situation. Help?

Thinking of switching from sales to a sales engineering role. Biggest difference is going to be higher base (plus bonus) with no commission or quota to carry. Curious as to what is a fair salary in todays climate. We’re a series C fintech company based in NYC. I’m being considered for the role because I’m one of the strongest presenters on the team. It will still be in individual contributor role with supposed path to leadership. Curious the range as well as equity to expect/ask for.
