re: #258 klys

I won’t lie, I’m terrified of the job market because I want something more like that and I don’t think my qualifications are up to snuff. How do you contrast a Ph.D. in science + a certificate in CS versus a BS in CS? Even if both of the former are from a good school?

You guys haven’t even see me hit the job market yet.

If you were open to moving up here, I would suggest it. The big boss took a risk hiring me - my educational background is CS, but the only professional job I was able to get out of college was in Quality Assurance. Everybody wanted to hire me as a tester, but he decided to bring me on in a development role. It seems to have worked out fabulously so far.
