Ask HN: Quickest path to a tech job in SF Bay Area?
2 by skogsbonde | 2 comments on Hacker News.
A friend wants to change careers and is interested in tech, but she's not sure what to start learning. Which types of jobs are most in demand, that could be learned the quickest by a beginner? She's good at math. Should she start studying machine learning? Or is Javascript/ReactJS frontend a safer bet? Backend? iOS SwiftUI? A normal person obviously can't learn in a reasonable time the broad field of software engineering like the ins and outs of computer networks, TLS handshake, cpu out of order execution, avoiding branching, et cetera - but what is a vertical that could be learned in a reasonable time by a beginner that would be a good bet in terms of job prospects?
