Seeing articles and stories and rants here of other devs gives me anxiety when they mention CS concepts and algorithms and stuff. My college teaches IT and not CS, so none of that more complex stuff. I begin to fear my hiring potential without that knowledge.

Luckily, there's online resources everywhere.

Hang in tight. You'll get there.

Independent research and experimentation is so so so much better than formal education anyway.

@Ashkin I wholeheartedly agree in terms of knowledge acquisition. Employers are a different story for the most part.

@TheCapeGreek not in my experience, but I know some are very particular on education.

@Ashkin Let's hope! 🤞 guess it depends on the area too.

Don't sweat it.

Getting your foot in the door will be your hardest endeavor.

I suspect, if you don't intern, you'll be about 6 to 8 weeks out of your schooling career before you start doing interviews after applying to a boat load of job postings.

After you accept your first job offer, you'll start getting flooded with recruiters asking you to apply and there after you'll never have to worry about finding a job. People will come to you.

@BakerMcBaker I'm already working and getting my foot in the door as you say. My concern was more about the more complex topics in the industry and being at the top of my game. Being a middling dev building useless things is far from what I want to spend my time doing.
