Considering a coding boot camp. Is this still a viable thing these days or am I post-bubble pop?

Currently a lawyer. Can't deal with one more day of it. Some experience and enjoyment with JavaScript node.js and python

Just take OSSU. Its a complete CS ciriculum that will lead you to specialize in a high paying field if you complete it all the way through. Should take 5000 hours of self study on average. You could do it in a year if you work really hard but id plan to do it in 2-3.

Another lawyer that can’t wait to get out...Don’t want to have a 50+ hour workweek for the rest of my life, doing a boring, meaningless job, even though the pay is allright...Not sure IT is the way to go though, even though basic coding skills are always helpful.

Depends on the type of "IT" you're referring to. Most highly productive tech people don't actually spend much time coding, but design systems with clear technical implications that'd reveal or sanity check business value propositions. What you're thinking are probably the antiquated coders who work at Oracle, SAP, banks etc

Maybe IT idiots but anybody doing well in tech doesn’t wish they were in law. Demand is so high for people that know what they’re doing in cloud computing (which is really easy) and the money to back it.

Meanwhile every moron and their dog went and got a law degree and now the market is oversaturated. You study for four or five years and get a minimum wage job doing something an app will do in a few years. Growth prospects in law are terrible unless you’re the top of the game.

Really interested in this difference about "coding monkey" and "designing systems". Can you refer me some keywords to this topic so I can look deeper into?

>> No.11232267

>>11232207
Code monkeys have no understanding of the underlying infrastructure. They don’t get the hardware and electronics side of things (computer science) and therefore don’t understand the limitations of their systems. They therefore write shit code that doesn’t scale at all and brings systems down.

That’s not to say you need a computer science degree to be a good cover, or even a good systems architect, but mor emphasising the point of understanding the key pieces of a system.

Look into cloud computing. The learning curve will
be somewhat steep if you know nothing about systems but you’ll be forced to learn systems architecture and code to be any good at it.

Don’t do this. Master of Statistics here. Data Science is a bigger meme than coding. If you can bridge Law and Data. Create a business value out, in some niche. Don’t go for generic sectors like Data Science or Software. Target “A lawyer with Data Science expertise in __ area”

Because people fresh out of college doing junior level engineering work make almost triple that at some of the better-paying FAANG+M companies in the most expensive cities.

To you, $70k/yr looks good.

To me, that's a 73% pay cut, as a mid-level engineer making somewhere between junior- and mid-level pay at a big tech company in NYC.

>> No.11233190

>>11230568
On the other hand, junior engineers make like $70-90k in NYC at more "normal" companies.
