What do employers look for when recruiting for a software engineer, or any other computer science job?

I'm interested in pursuing computer science as a degree in college but I was wondering what tech companies look in terms of soft skill, and maybe a bit of hard skills as well. What are some classes I should take in college? What skills should I work on or need? #computer-science #computer #technology #computer-software #software

While in college, how you prepare yourself to become a software engineer?

I am a High School Senior who has a strong passion in Computer Science and I am looking forward to become a Software Engineer. But I have a concern. According to Moore's law, "Computational progress will become significantly faster, smaller, and more efficient over time". I am worried that growth of technology is transitioning at a fast pace and I might get left behind when I graduated college with a computer science degree. #computer #engineer #technology #computer-software #computer-engineering

How would you build a software developer?

I'm a Marine Corps Veteran and was just accepted to a program that will pay for school, any additional training that would make me more hirable, and a monthly housing allowance. I'm starting at a local community college and looking to transfer to Santa Clara University in pursuit of a computer science and engineering degree. The estimated time of completion is around three to four years. I start in Jan 2022. To supplement school, I've looked into coding boot camps, self-paced classes, and youtube videos. The thought here is to try to get internships. If you could go back and redo your path to your current role, what would you have done differently? What would have been dropped and what added? What advice would you give someone in my shoes starting the journey? What should I know? Are coding boot camps worth it? Anything else I should know? #college #technology #computer #computer-science #computer-software #software-developer #coding #phython Thank you!

I am currently a senior student from Galileo High School and I have interests about building websites. The reason that I have interest to web developing is because I have an internship that learn about coding and building websites during the past summer. Is software engineering a good major? I heard other people said that if you pick this major, you have be good at math. And, I am not confident at math. #internship #computer-software #software-engineer

What languages are most common in game developing, opposed to computer engineering in a corporate setting, if there is a difference?

I'm a student learning Java in a high school class, and have also learned python between experimenting by myself and at a summer camp. I want to know what languages, if any, I should be focusing on or if I should just try and learn as much as possible. #computer-software #programming

A bit about myself, I'm currently attending Job Corps. for the CCNA program on Networking. My goal is to complete this and pursue an advanced training for Database Administration, I believe using Microsoft Azure Architecture. A program Job Corps. offers is a transition to a two year or four year college. I want to transfer to a four year college to pursue a BS in Computer Science for Software Engineering. What curriculums should I be looking out for that would set me apart from other prospect Software Engineers leaving college? Also, what else can I do in my spare time, such as picking up a language or getting familiar with different environments, IDE's, etc.? #college #software #computer-software #college-major #technology
