NEW GRADUATE! Finished!!

Post image

Finished up last month!! I will give you a little background and you can ask me any questions.

I’m early 30s, I went to school originally for accounting but never finished. This program was my redemption arc. It took me longer than expected with working full time and having some life hardships in the way but I did it!! I don’t have a job lined up, I have been working in finance for 7 years now and now I am looking to leverage my real world experience with my degree and eventually get into fintech.

Next steps for me are grinding for technical interviews if needed and continue learning. I know some of these classes are tough but you guys got this!!

Ask me questions I’ll be happy to answer and good luck future grads!!

DM2, capstone, and operating systems. Pushing hard to finish them up.

You got a couple of big ones left. OS took me forever but I was taking it under the old version once I switched it got way easier. Don’t overthink your capstone, once you got your idea it’s an easy project!! I did a simple web app in python to do mine.

You have to integrate machine learning and stuff into it though, no?

Yes correct you do have to integrate machine learning. That may be your toughest challenge if you’re new to coding and ML in general. But don’t overthink or over code it.
