Would take a job unrelated to your degree?

[Jason Voorhees]

Title. Companies often hire from top CS school for all kinds of job positions. CS is actually a very generalist degree. By itself just builds the foundation, you have to do stuff outside of the classroom to get hired in tech but it is essentially a math degree with a lot of logical thinking which is very valuable in all kinds of job positions so it's easy to pick them up and train them for a few months to make them perfectly suitable for that role.

Like in my uni. Many companies came to hire people for their finance bro, quant, management consultant, risk analysts, Corporate Finance and all those sorts of roles unrelated to tech. I didn't apply for any of them because why tf would I? I didn't study and grind my ass learning how to write code to become a banker. Salary is generally very decent tho. Would you do apply and accept jobs like this? Like something completely unrelated if the cash is good?

No it’s not really applicable to my future degree it has to be within the range of the domain

 

[incelincel]

if the job is somewhat enjoyable, and the cash increase is alright, sure.

Seems like a such a waste tho. You spend 4 years grinding leetcode but suddenly you get picked up by JP Morgan and now your daily routine consists of staring at an excel sheet and power point and meeting 200 people everyday

 

[SoundnVision]

What degree

My niche is Devops but junior SREs in my company are expected to also help Devs in their work and yes I know AI/ML but they aren't my expertise

 

[Jason Voorhees]

What degree

Read the thread. Some of my friends who did CS are now in finance

Good luck tho, I’ll be looking into these acronyms

thats how the job market is now tho- we dont get that privilidge of choice. We wageslave for pennies compared the cost of living while average productivity skyrockets. Wages are stagnant and will continue to be stagnant since they can just import despesrate indians. You wont own a house until youre atleast 40. Its so cooked

I just meant I don't have a degrees fella

If you have strong social skills it can be useful to grow a network

Bankers I know can't code. Coders I know can't bank. All of them have less money than me.
Job market is theoretically infinite. And if some job fair didn't hire you, next will do.
Wages aren't that different from one company to the other and you'll find dozens of other ways to make money outside it salary. Don't let the rat race's sad hierarchy put you down
