QUOTE(Voreus @ Mar 17 2023, 10:30 AM)
mid 20s, male
grad'ed 2 years ago with a degree in accounting
worked in the industry for a while, didnt feel like doing it for the rest of my life
why i chose accounting? Long story (tl;dr : bad decisions + peer pressure)
decided to try something else that i have interests in (IT field)
did bootcamps, not bad so far
familiar with html css python, basic laravel bootstraps and react
made my own website with the things i have learnt
got offered for an intern role, but the pay is too low to even pay the bills
and im competing with tons of cs degree holders out there, not sure how can i nego for higher pay
at the same time thinking of getting into sales too since i dont reject the idea of talking to people
right now its either:
bite the nail, go for the intern and work another job

or go into sales while dedicating some time into making my own coding portfolio

idk man, feeling real lost atm, not sure where to go

thanks sifu for yer opinions

With your knowledge in accounting, does either Risk or Compliance have any interest for you? Looking towards both technology risk and technology compliance can be an area where companies are willing to hire people with accounting backgrounds (e.g. banks).
