Planning to change my career... Need some advice

[creamyc12]

Hello po sa ating mga IT professionals! Hingi lang po sana ako ng advice sainyo kung ano ba ang first step ko para maging software dev/engr. 24 yrs old po ako at graduate ng BS Marine Engineering and currently onboard sa barko sabihin natin na ok naman sahod pero di talaga ako masaya sa trabaho ko hindi ako motivated sa work ko kasi di talaga ako interesado. First priority ko talaga ang computer science/IT courses pero hndi pumayag ang magulang ko. So ngayon nagsisisi ako kung bakit ko sila sinunodI'm planning to retire from seafaring na hehe anyway mga sir/maam, Iniisip ko sana mag bootcamp sa paguwi ko sa pinas, mga magkano po kaya ang aabutin nyan? at ano po kaya ang the best na bootcamp sa atin? Pashare na din po ako ng mga experiences nyo pagiging IT professionals. Thanks po!

Okay kaya yan sir sa mga employer? Naisip ko kasi kung magbootcamp ako pwede ako irefer ng institution na yun sa mga employer, kumbaga may parang reference yung employer na may natutunan talaga ako sa web development. hehe mas may impact sguro sa employer yung udemy courses kung IT grad ako eh sad to say hindi may mga instances kaya sir na ganyan, na sa udemy lang ang non-IT grad nag study ng coding at naemploy sya? Parang sa ibang bansa lang ata yun nangyayari

Do the bootcamp but don't expect to be hired. Do it for the networking and to meet new friends in the IT industry.

When studying just don't follow the tutorial. Always ask yourself and evaluate if you really understand it. ALWAYS ASK WHY? Then google for answers or join discord servers or ask someone in stackoverflow, reddit, ect.

Your first milestone should be to make a fully working CRUD Application. Any random concept will do. Then when you are done, review it and try adding minor/major improvements and refactor your code making sure it is readable when other people will read your code.

Upload it to GitHub or Bitbucket and link your github/bitbucket in your resume. Then start applying for a job.

Decent companies don't care about diploma. What they value the most are people who are resourceful and can actually code.

Study and Learn the Concepts not the syntax.

Sir my free courses ba sila jan?

https://ftuforum.com/ <- free udemy courses, may kalakihan nga lang files.

bootcamp is good TS lalo na yung may program na kasama which is ihohook ka nila sa companies.

Wow. Nakakatakot ma move yan. Meron ka nang stable na income tapos lilipat sa ibang field.
Pero kung maging Programmer ka TS, awesome. Kasi usually ang mga programmers is programmers lang, walang ibang domain of expertise. Sayo kasi pag maging Programmer ka, tapos marami kang alam sa searfaring field, baka may makita ka na trabaho or magkakasoftware business ka na related sa both.
Anyways goodluck.

 

[marcusmacoy02]

Maraming Bootcamp ngayon. pero paps piliin mo muna kung anu gusto mong aralin na programming language.. Tapos Self Study , search ka online paps madami dyan.. para bago ka mag bootcamp medyo may knowledge kana.. SKL ko lang po

Yes po, I know the risks na din. Hopefully, makuha ko yung dream job ko. Di na kasi ako masaya sa work ko sa barko and 1st option ko talaga ang programming since elementary pa ako nahook up na ako sa computer subjects namen.. Haha!

Opinion mo din yan sir and we respect that. There is no right or wrong here. Gusto ko lang naman malaman lahat ng side nyo mapa negative man or positive. I'd like to try to change my career talaga, ayoko pagsisihan lahat pag tumanda na ako na diko nagawa yung talgang gusto ko. Nasa inforamtion age na tayo and DATA is now more precious than OIL.

1st - Pinpoint what you want to be on the IT field (di ko ata nabasa sa post mo)
- ano ba gusto mong gawin, websites? mobile applications? industrial automations? networks/firewall datacenters, etc..

2nd - The bootcamp thing is better but not a sure ticket to be hired, so wag ka umasa,you still need to learn on your own (masarap to na masakit ).
- whatever you want, there are now tutorials,naka video pa, sipagan mo lang at wag mag babad sa mga Documentations nila,hindi mo need lahat ng nakasulat jan.

3rd - Always challenge yourself, if you are comfortable on what ever you are doing on that IT project, always step it up a notch higher para ma challenge ka at matuto.
- share youre code or be a contributor sa mga opensource projects ng mahasa yung skills mo sa diff project problems.

4th - para to sa previous na nag comment at sa future na magbabasa din. Be an INNOVATOR.
- If your current mind set it to be hired as an IT professional,programmer etc.. Then do not stick there forever,you can always upgrade yourself on this very competitive world of IT. or be your own Boss, narining mo naman ata mga startup companies diba. Just dream big lang, wag na wag umistick sa pagiging empleyado.


ps : Im a self taught full stack engineer coming from vb6 to .net to web development domain with unix/win/android platforms.

goodluck bro

I'll take that in mind sir. Thanks sa advice. Regarding sa question mo na anong gusto ko gawin ay yung pagiging software dev for mobile & computer apps. Pwede din naman mging web developer pero mas pipiliin ko gumawa ng sarili ko application/software

Anong kurso kinuha mo sir sa kolehiyo? Ano po mga naranasan mo sa employers mo nung nagaapply ka ng nalaman nilang self taught ka? hehe pwede din ako mag self taught or bumili ng courses sa udemy eh.
