What you should do with your CS degree.. (Score 1)

I'm a Technical Recruiter and so this question is near and dear to my heart. I think the beginning to finding your answer begins with some questions. 1. Do you want to work close to the metal, ie robotics? Do you enjoy design, ie UX development? Are you interested more in developing applications, games, distributed systems? What about Internet of things (IOT), AI, security? I recommend going on LinkedIn and finding people that are doing the kinds of jobs that you are most interested in considering, people who work for the companies that you think you'd like to work for, and writing them a message on LinkedIn that is a "expertise request", and explain to them that you're interested in asking them some questions about the position that they have so that you could see if it's a direction that you might want to go. For each position I'd reach out to multiple people. Some of these people should be new, like you, because they can tell you a bit about what to experience up front when you're starting out. Choosing alumni from your current college provides you an in that you might not otherwise have, as you know something you two have in common right up front. I'd also pick someone who is a senior engineer, or engineering manager to reach out to as well and ask questions of. This might also have the possibility of turning into an internship for you. :-) I'd also spend time thinking about what classes you enjoyed the most in your current program, and talk to the teachers of those classes to see if they might recommend any specific alumni you reach out to, or if there's anyone that they would recommend. They also themselves may have useful insights. I wish you the best!
