While you're in high school, I'd recommend taking any "programming" or "computer science" classes that are available. Also, focus on your math classes (linear algebra is important, make sure to take that class if it's available). If you're eager to get started and your school doesn't have any computer science classes (mine didn't), you can check out https://www.codecademy.com/ to learn some of the basics.


I'd recommend getting a college degree in computer science, this should teach you what you need to know for the job. Make sure you find summer internships during college- these are super important for gaining experience and learning what you'd like to work on later. The internships are just as important as the degree.


In your last year of university, apply to as many jobs as possible. There are software jobs all over the country, but probably the most are in the Bay Area.

Hanish’s Answer

CS is a very broad area and there are multiple fields within it that you can work in like Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Security Engineering, Embedded Systems Engineering, etc. If you're someone who wants to get into the tech industry quickly, I would suggest trying out for fullstack engineer roles. I would suggest focusing on data structures and algorithms and mastering at least one programming language. A lot of people start out with python or javascript because they’re easier to learn compared to an object oriented language like Java or C++. Data structures and algorithms are crucial for anyone that’s trying to learn CS concepts because once you start interviewing for jobs, most of these jobs will focus on your ability to solve problems using common data structures like linked lists, arrays, stacks, queues, etc. Try to solve questions on leetcode in different programming languages like python, javascript, java, c++, etc. Leetcode has a section of problems dedicated to just interview, from personal experience I can vouch that you can expect to get these in atleast 90% of the time. Good luck!
