My Experience in Software Engineer.
Over the Easter holiday weekend recently my family was invited to a friend’s house to spend the day, where I was speaking with a gentleman that was about to graduate with a masters in CS. I struck up a conversation about software engineering and briefly provided some suggestions about kicking off the job hunt and career. I soon came to realize how much the information I was providing was appreciated, and guess I forget a bit about trying to get my foot in the door. I had no one offering me 1st hand advice upon leaving college in the sea of graduates all competing for jobs. Therefore I thought it might be helpful to recollect and offer a fresh perspective to those starting out their professional career as a software engineer. Just remember, take the free advice for what it's worth; obviously everyone could have variations on this topic.
I have been a software engineer focused with technologies on the Microsoft stack for almost 11.5 years at the time of this writing. While by no means I'm a 30 year veteran of this field, I'm also no newbie to this game either. Holding (3) professional jobs in this time span has allowed me to work with a slew of diverse professionals and allowed me to soak up and experience a lot about being a software engineer too. Since my experience roughly dates to the new millennium, I feel a lot of what I have to say holds relevant today as opposed to experience from writing on a mainframe system at IBM in 1984. Not that it doesn't hold water, but most of the technologies used on day 1 of my professional career are still widely used today.
