Is LinkedIn Down? 2 years ago

Did Meta release any info on what happened yesterday? Now LinkedIn? Hope we are not setting some new trend here.

Have a look at bigger more established institutions. There are still some out there who have programs to re-skill people (especially from STEM degrees) into engineering. Mostly financial institutions.

What they usually do is hire you at a grad level, and put you in a bootcamp for couple of months.

we had a layoff in my company announced today (UK based), it will be weeks before I know if I'm impacted

If I decided to jump ship now and join a financial company in which I can guarantee quick offer due to networking I feel I'm risking exactly that.

It feels like a wave, if you jump to another industry you may risk to catch the wave when it comes. Specifically financial seems to just start now?

How fateful? 4 years ago

I really like to know what software is used to create this blog post, the navigation is so good.

Hey first of all thank you so much for spending the time to answer this.

Some things to clarify, which are not clear from my question.

I'm not trying to push her into programming, but rather trying to understand what a some of the possible career paths for someone with PhD&Masters degree in this area that would also have decent pay.

I see how demotivation for someone who spent so many years and obtained multiple degrees would be to see their pay being 1/2 or less compared to bachelors in CS.

So my initial, gut feeling if you will, was that that with the possibility of Genomic technology sector being the next "tech", highly paid sector - then having someone with PhD in the science part and also some programming knowledge could put her in a good career trajectory.

Of course I may be wrong, so I wanted to explore if someone with similar background pivoted into programming and how that went.

What about the expiry dates on all of the medication/food. You cannot just buy stuff in bulk and let it sit for 20 years waiting for the right time to use it.

I guess for food you can just use it as you go and just refill what you used occasionally and keeping high levels of supply. But for medication I don't see other option than throwing it away when it expires?
