Kickstarting Your Computer Science, IT career !

        Today in this post I want to talk a few things about... "what are the scopes of CS or IT...?", "what will I be doing after persuing my CS or IT bachelors ?" , "what will I be doing as a job in a company", "what am I actually going to be studying in CS or in IT..?". If you too have these questions in mind..... well I got you covered! stick till the end of this post.

        let us first understand What are you actually going to study in computer science engineering. there are a few points I know. firstly we all will be learning any one of the programming languages like C, C++, Python, JAVA. then comes another main topic of computer science which is "DATA STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS" also called DSA. Always remember, DSA is like the most basic and highly important part of the computer science field. with the strong knowledge of DSA, you will be able to write solutions to advanced problems and mostly, you will be able to write highly efficient codes. so the combination of learned programming language with  DSA is a must for CS bachelor. also, there are many more subjects, topics like Database management, Computer Networks, Theory of Computation, Discrete mathematics, OS, Automata theory, software engineering, some Electronics mutual part like Microprocessor architecture, Compiler design, Embedded Systems. and still, there are so many topics that you'll be learning in CS. I don't want to explain each one of them and make this post huge and boring to read. Just google it..!

        Now let's talk about careers. I will also talk about the things essential for that specific profession 

• Full-stack web developer 

                Full-stack developer basically creates crispy and dynamic websites which are also called as front end developments. There are still things like back-end development where you work on server-side software, you will be writing codes for the server. so if you are a full-stack developer you can work as a freelancer, if you are doing a job then you basically will be building and keep updating the website of that specific company. also, you may work as a back end developer. if that company has any service-based application or anything, which requires communication with the server then also you are required there, for back end development. To become a full-stack developer you are going to be needing experience in HTML CSS JAVASCRIPT PHP languages. There are also few frameworks available like CSS's "Bootstrap"  javascript's "Angular" pythons "Django" which comes handy.

• Data Scientist

            as a data scientist, you will be working on organizing data, writing efficient codes to efficiently retrieve it for any software. you will also be working in Big Data solution. Data scientists are needed to mine data which is further used for machine learning and AI. Data is itself a very big thing and soo many high-quality engineers are required in this field.

• Cybersecurity Expert/Ethical hacker

            if you are doing a job as a Cybersecurity Expert then you will be working in the cybersecurity department where there is a big chance that you are doing a government job. also, you will be working in a company to hack their software or websites ethically, just to find bugs and loopholes for software developers to fix. here you are going to need deep and conceptual knowledge of programming languages, computer networks, computer architecture, and high level of intelligence. 

• Software Developer

        you may have an idea what it's about, but still.... you will be building applications and games for different platforms like android,  iOS, Windows, Linux, macOS. there is also a subpart of this field called as being a tester. Tester finds out bugs from software for developers to fix them.

for software developers, the additional experience of tools like game engines and development software like the android studio and Xcode is required.

• Machine Learning/AI

            We all know what machine learning and AI are about so I don't feel the necessity to explain it. You will need a good knowledge of DSA to create Neural Networks. using frameworks like "Tensorflow" gets the job done easily.

• R&D

        There is a high scope of research in CS. Quantum computing, AI are some of the fields of research.

        These are not all! There still so many fields where you can find your perfect career. these were just the main fields of Computer Science. you might want to search about Game Testing, Bitcoin mining, Cryptocurrency.

There is also one thing which is not actually a profession but is very helpful for acquiring Skills which is Competitive Programming. Competitive programming helps you in sharpening your programming skills. it requires a good and deep knowledge of DSA and that particular programming language. C++ is termed as the language for competitive programming but there are no restrictions in choosing programming language as long as the platform supports it. to get the resources and to compete check out  codeforces.com, hackerrank.com, codechef.com, and search for youtube channels on youtube.

I hope this is enough for you to kickstart your career...!

and I hope you learn at least a few things.

if you any suggestions or feedback drop it in the comment section below... if you liked my post please give it a share... 

Thank You...!

peace✌
