if I may ask, which company do you work for? the reason I am asking is because there are very few tech companies in the world who are willing to hire us regardless of our nationality and most require work perit of their country.
Hi Iris! I have finished a software engineering bootcamp. I dont hold a bachelor in the field (my bachelor is law), but Im changing careers, and Im finding so difficult to get an entry level job in Software Engineer... Do you hold a bachelor in SE and from what school if you dont mind to tell me?
Hi Anna 😊👋🏼 Instead of applying for an entry level full time position, have you tried applying for internships? Usually companies don't expect interns to have a lot of experience and you don't necessarily need to show that you already completed big projects or have a big portfolio. This will give you a chance to get some first work experience without a lot of pressure which can help you land a "regular" entry level job afterwards. You might even get a job offer from the company you did your internship with afterwards :) This is how I started out. I know I have a degree which is different from your situation but to be honest I didn't know anything about how things work in the real world since at uni all the stuff we learned was pretty theoretical. I actually learned all practical stuff once I started working (which kinda defeats the purpose of having a degree in my opinion if you need to learn everything from scratch once you start a job and I don't understand how degrees have that much meaning - but that's a whole different topic haha). Anyways I knew nothing when I graduated and learned everything at the job. So it's very likely that you already know more stuff after the bootcamp than a lot of graduates 😉 Ok that was a little off-topic but maybe helps put things into perspective. So yeah, internships are a nice way to get started! Also don't worry too much about where to get an internship, it does absolutely not have to be FAANG or any other super well-known company, any internship will do because they give you experience and it's easier to get one at a company that does not attract the whole world and is super hard to get into. It is more about the work experience itself and not about where you worked at. (Maybe later that is a bonus but if you're just starting out there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.) I come from the countryside in Austria and did my first internship in a company most people have never heard of and I still later landed jobs at other, bigger companies. I hope what I'm saying makes sense. 😁 The easiest way to get an internship is through networking. You don't need to know anyone who works in this industry personally, go to job fairs or conferences where companies have their booths and talk to their HR guys and tell them about your situation and what you are looking for! (Also how I got my first internship lol). Most of the time the people there are super nice and are happy to have a chat. I really hope this helps! 😊 Oh, almost forgot to answer your second question: I got my degree from a super small uni in the western part of Austria.
