I’m looking for a mentor who is in the software industry.
About me: I’m studying math at a university in Ohio, and I’ll graduate in May. I’m a mostly self taught programmer, but I’ve also taken a few CS classes at school and on Coursera. My most developed skills are in Python and Django, though I’ve also used C, C#, Haskell, SQL, Javascript and a few other technologies.
My goal is to find a job as a software developer, but I face several challenges:
- I don’t have any job experience in software.
- I don’t know many people in the industry.
- My university’s Career Services isn’t very helpful.
So I’m looking for somebody who can answer some questions and give me advice on getting started in the industry. I know it’s a long shot, but there is no downside to asking. If anybody is willing to help, please PM me.
