Topic	Compsci majors, were you able to find work easily after graduation?
TeaMilk 04/23/18 9:24:06 PM #6:	1337toothbrush posted... I didn't bother looking for work until after I finished, but I was still able to find work within a month of graduating. It was a web development position which is funny since I didn't do any web development at all. As a junior developer, you'll be able to catch up and figure things out. School doesn't generally teach you exactly what you need for your job, but it teaches you how to pick up and learn what you need. This was reassuring, thanks. I do feel like I can pick up on new stuff quickly when I need to. Frostshock posted... You're fucked. You realize you're competing with people who had internships as part of their university program? Possibly lucky for you, if you're a minority and/or woman you get a big boost in job opportunities. Negative boost if you're a white male. Yeah I do realize that, I applied for quite a few things in past years and got turned down without much feedback. I feel pretty sure I've got something this summer, but I haven't been given the paperwork yet. (I also do happen to fall under a ton of minority demographics, hopefully that works to my benefit somehow lol) --- 3DS: 3093-7075-8544 <cite>TeaMilk posted [p:900187606] in Compsci ma...
