- Is tech still a good path? What maybe the reason behind the decline in the total number of open tech roles? What should I do to prepare myself better?

Thanks Luca. I have seen in Linkedin these bootcamp grads from top coding bootcamps who just recently graduated and they are struggling to find a software engineer job. Luckily i havent quit my job and started a coding bootcamp just yet. Eventually I would. For now Im just working as a soc analyst, studying Python on the side, and saving up money. I have also bought the green book that you recommended. It is thick af.
The green book was the only thing I used for interviewing back in the day. I was also able to learn so much about programming from some of the chapters like the ones on JAVA. Good luck!
Great insight as always. Thanks Luca!
Thank you for watching
One way is you can apply for a helpdesk role since it's much easier to get into a company that way and from there you can do some job shadowing and provide assistance with software devs in your spare time to get a little bit of real world experience (all this while furthering your studies of course). It'll be much easier to get the software dev role internally when the position comes up in the company
Internal transfer is def a possibility but I wouldn't count on it 100% of the time; depending on the field the team it can be difficult to switch into tech but the risk could be worth it for some. I seen success for people converting from contractors to full time, PM-> Eng, cloud to eng but overall the sample size is pretty small and I heard for a lot of the other roles they don't consider it a valid switch
I completely disagree with you. I worked IT helpdesk for 4 years in a major airline company and at the time I wanted to eventually transfer to their IT Security department. I have attended events and programs hosted by the IT Security department and expressed interest by talking to their managers and staff. I also talked to my manager about it. I already had an associate in networking and was studying BS in Computer Information Science with specialization in Cybersecurity. Long story short, I was told “no” in an indirect way. Later on, I found out that they hired a Cybersecurity intern whose background was in Photography. The manager’s background was in Psychology. The director’s background was a history major.
Having the “foot in the door” doesn’t work. You have better chances if you apply to the role you really want directly and outright rather than taking a random role and hoping that someday they will transfer you to that dream role.
Its also true in my current company. If you start as a SOC analyst, it will be ten times harder for you to transfer internally and become say a security engineer. People from the outside will have it ten times easier to get that security engineer job compared to someone whose already in the company doing a less interesting role.
I have seen this first hand. I had a coworker who was also a soc analyst. He is a Linux wizard and knows Linux and sys admin stuff deeper than anyone. He wanted to transfer to a higher position with the soc but was told “no”. Then we found out a “music” degree graduate got hired straight into one of our sec eng department without any prior IT nor cybersecurity job experience.
Keep in mind, these are 2 different companies.
@@Anonymous-xq3cd Wow, I'm sorry that happened. This wasn't the case in past companies I've worked for. At one company, a financial institution, a coworker who was an Application Analyst at the time told me she started off in a helpdesk role. Because she had just finished her Computer Science degree and was so proactive in her helpdesk role, the Manager gave her a chance, and since then, she excelled in her new role and progressed to a senior level.
Another employee who worked in Credit Risk obtained the Application Analyst role by following a similar path: graduating with her Computer Science degree and expressing interest in working in IT. Her background in Credit Risk also brought valuable financial knowledge, which was a bonus for working with the company's core finance software at the time.
In a retail company, a branch manager was able to transition to an IT tech role in a similar manner. He brought to the table his working knowledge of retail. Additionally, having used the company's core retail software extensively in his branch manager role, he was seen as a valuable asset for troubleshooting issues with the software, given his in-depth familiarity with it.
Both companies embraced career growth and internal advancement for their employees. Maybe the companies I worked for were smaller, which allowed this to happen. If that's the case, it's better to apply to smaller companies, work your way up, and then switch to bigger companies if you so desire.
Any time I have to kiss someone's ass to "move up" I won't. I would rather just look for the position out right then hoping and preying someone will let me have the roll.
I would sooner lie on my resume and bust my ass in the job in order to actually get the job I want and be in control of my life
I like bootcamps tho, I did one , the good thing I do them in spanish is wayy cheap I paid 300$ for 6 months with live classes , I learned a lot, but Im also in college , so it helped me totally be ahead on the learning curve! I love this field and really hope it gets better and Im able to find a job in the future!
My recent struggle is getting into leetcode, but lets see how it goes!
They are charging 10k-25k for coding bootcamps in the US
@LukeCodes-JobbyorBust ik! Thats why I opted out, and as a spanish speaker I was able to find outside of the US, its crazy to pay 25k for a bootcamp!!
Bootcamp is similar to classes and having a group makes the learning that much easier. $300 for a bootcamp is pretty awesome, leet code will only be useful when preparing for interview beside that it won’t offer too much value unless you know what you want to improve.
Good luck!
Hey Luca! Love the content. I was wondering if you could give me your opinion if you think building trading advisors are a good example of a project. That trades different markets? Would you recommond putting the results of the EA on a blog? Or even provide the code for it? Appreciate your time brother!
Thank you for watching. This sounds like foreign exchange. I think is definitely valid. You can put the result on as many different platform as you want. This also depends on if you want traffic or simply documenting the process. If this is for profit then it may also require different publication. The code should live on something similar to GitHub. You can even consider having your own domain for the project or a sub tab off your personal page to showcase this project. The possibilities are endless. Cheers!
@@TechwithLucathanks for the advice! You and Sandra both have amazing conent keep it up brother!
Hi Lucas I'm new here. Do you think get into mobile developer is a good move ? Because I don't want to expend time studying and then can't get a job or be scared if there's no future as mobile developer. Thanks man for all your videos...
Mobile is going to continue to be really popular. The question becomes which OS? Android vs IOS. The only downside is mobile can be difficult comparing to front end or simple web UI and can be difficult for beginners.
thanks man, much love @@TechwithLuca
Thank you for your suggestion on applying internship although I have started my career ❤.
Is it acceptable to do internship and full time job at the same time ?
Ahh, the tricky question. I don't think is illegal unless is on your contract or non-compete but a future company may ask you why you had two overlapping roles and they may not want to hire you if they think you might be working other jobs
Hi Luca.
My current full time job wasn’t the role that I’ve applied for. I’ve applied as a “Developer” and I was trained in Java Full stack development in the first 3 months. I was on the bench until the current project ( started in June) that I’m working on involves with triaging JIRA problem tickets by going over the error logs and move the problem ticket to the right team. I’m concerned that as a software developer, they do not give me the chance to do coding work, which lead me to think I’m not getting enough experience and they are ruining my career. Additionally, I’ve tried to applied to other jobs but I got ghosted and received rejection emails.
I do apologize for this long comment.
What are your suggestions Luka?
I think that cs isn't gonna be a valid option from now on. It's been the most mainstream degree for the past 10 years. That happens with every industry. The IT industry was red hot from 1995 to 2000 and then went bust in 2001, Oil drilling was on fire from 2010 to 2014 and is now in dangerous territory. Noone tells students that the real world depends on the capital flow into and out of markets
