something about study

Yet, I accept that this year there are a few changes and on the off chance that you have new data, if it's not too much trouble, share it. In the event that you permit me, I need to stray 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, however first I need to take courses and get a PMP confirmation. I even tracked down a site of folks s://cbtproxy.com/ who assist with tests. Assuming that you have any considerations on this subject, kindly offer them. I really want your recommendation, backing and wish me karma.

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.

I'm probably only doing it for its high starting pay and my degree.
Wait, unless I'm misunderstanding you, how does one deem himself to be good at problem solving when the solutions are admittedly derived via brute forcing? Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

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.

Jack crush 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.

Unregistered 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.

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.

Let's say if I would want to continue to be a software engineer, I will foresee myself trying to look for non-technical roles as I know that I do not want to do coding in the long run. If that's the case, what are the companies do you think I can get away with my poor CS knowledge in their interviews? Those interviews that requires a strong CS knowledge makes me hesitate to apply due to me being an intern now with not much leave to go for these interviews.
