All Star
I'm trying desperately to get a programming job or entry level software engineering job before I commit all the way to it in college. I would go for an internship but I live in a small city with basically one place that I can intern. So it's me vs every other college student who can code and I can't lie Im not the best at it. I have my moments where I can code well but Im not mr robot here. I'm more of a jack of all trades, master of none right now. I have a wide variety of skills that can be useful but little experience in each area.
Anyway all I want to know is what do you really need for an entry level software development job or internship?
I am skilled in java and python and I've made some bots for reddit and I fiddled with making games in unity for a minute.
Again I'm not very deep into the programming courses besides python and java and I don't know if I want to do this yet. So I'm trying to get a job in this field at least for a minute to see if I like it, which if I do this experience is immensely valuable to me.
Also, I know there may be some students who are more qualified than me, how much do you think I've upped my chances if I tell them they can pay me less than the position offers? I currently make 10 an hour while going to school, I believe whatever I get paid at an entry software developer position is around 15-20 an hour, so I can still take less money and still make more than what I do now. PLUS, I'm solely applying for experience, the fact that I'm getting paid is just a bonus. If I like the field and graduate in it, I know I can secure a bag in the future for sure.
