Career Advice for a Computer Science student
I'm graduating end of this year with a NTU Computer Science second upper degree. My previous education is a Diploma in IT. I'm currently looking into my career options for my first career. During my course at the university, I realised that Computer Science is not for me despite my love for programming and being good at it while I was studying in diploma, therefore, I'm very hesitant about taking a software engineer job. Due to that, I feel that I could only manage to pass the interviews at software consultancy companies, e.g. NCS due to my poor computer science knowledge.
Based on my experience during my internship, I found that I love interacting with clients and the different aspects of project management. Should I pursue careers like a business analyst or technical consultant or should I climb the career ladder of a software engineer and be a project manager in the end. At the same time, if there are any careers and its companies (Non-software engineer role) that will suit me, do list it down. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. |
As an alumni, here are my pure thoughts:
Software Engineer route: - Endless job opportunities - Extremely high pay nowadays if you can crack tough technical interviews - GPA isn't as important, it's all about CS knowledge and whiteboard coding to get top high paid jobs - Easier to go from technical to non-technical route, but not the other way around - Downside is if you can't crack interviews, you can only end up in low paid companies like NCS - I think you need passion to keep upgrading technical skills, which isn't align with what you mentioned - Not everyone becomes a Project Manager, but senior software engineers at top tech companies can be paid as much |

You have to ask yourself, what do you truly want? I think it is still relatively easy to get >= 4k offer as a fresh graduate nowadays even if you aren't a top tier software engineer candidate. |

I’m the same profile as you. CS grad who’s not very good after coming out of school, doesn’t feel confident enough for technical roles so prefer non technical.
Went to one of the Tech MA programmes. So think about it this way: 1) Spend two years getting paid decent money while TRAINING to be a good software engineer. Doesn’t mean you have to be the best , but understand what business wants and how does good code look like. 2) After this x number of years you’ve been learning , you can go out and apply to be non-technical roles. No one wants project managers who don’t have hands on technical experience or haven’t interacted daily with Engineers. Why would they take you over any other non-CS grad? 3) Get Your base salary as high as possible at the start. All future increases will be based on your current drawn. 3K and 4K starting are worlds apart. |
Physics is an important for A level or O level class student. Students always need help in the Physics subject as it is complicated subject and it is not easy to solve its problems. For your physics tuition Singapore the best tuition is Physics Tuition Singapore, I have enrolled my elder boy at Physics cafe and now he is taking good markes and his grades ar e improved. I will recommend all parents to enroll their children in the Physics Cafe as it si the best tuition center in Singapore.

Are you trying to say you would like to land a SWE job for the high starting salary and eventually transition to a non-techical role, despite knowing that you probably won't be good at your current job as a swe, your lack of ability to adapt and your lack of willingness to address your current issues in terms of keeping up with the current technologies / nurture critical problem solving skills? ... Please try to identify the skills required for business analysts or technical consultants and work towards achieving those skills instead. |
I just want to know, r u interested in programming?

A lot of interesting offers there.

You are right
In any case, I expect that this year there are a few changes and in the event that you have new data, kindly offer it. On the off chance that you permit me, I need to diverge a bit. I lost my employment during the quarantine and am frantic. I need to accommodate my family, so I want to find an exit from this present circumstance. All things considered, I was encouraged to work in IT, yet first I need to take courses and get a PMP confirmation. I even tracked down a site of folks <a href="s://.cbtproxy.com"> PMP</a> who assist with tests. Assuming you have any considerations on this point, if it's not too much trouble, share them. I really want your recommendation, backing and wish me karma.
