30’ların ortalarında ve bilgisayar bilimi için okula geri dönmeyi düşünmek

Birkaç yıl önce bir hukuk derecesi ile mezun oldum ama bitirdiğimde pratik yapmak istemedim. Onunla teğetsel olarak ilişkili beyaz yakalı bir iş çalışıyorum ve yeterince iyi ödeme yapıyor, ancak gerçekten tatmin edici değil ve yukarı doğru hareketlilik oranlarım düşük.

Bilgisayar bilimi için okula geri dönmeyi düşünüyorum. İşime daha fazla dalmış gibi hissediyorum ve hareketlilik ve iş güvenliği olasılığım daha yüksek olurdu. Kredi aktarabilirsem muhtemelen üç yıl olurdu.

Beni geride tutan şey endişeleniyor, kariyer atlamak ve aşağıdan yukarıya başlamak için çok yaşlıyım. Tekneyi birçok şeyde kaçırdım ve bu onlardan biri olabilir. Düşünceler?

I have a bachelors and master’s in comp sci from top schools, internships, research, and a strong network. I’m *struggling* with even getting interviews. Most of my network, who all went to top schools and have graduate degrees, is *struggling*.

Look at r/csmajors and r/cscareerquestions. It’s a really bad time to try. Ageism can also be a bit stronger than other fields. The community is pretty split and opinions are polarized, but mid 30s is often seen as old for CS.

I’m not trying to be a dick, I’m very much a chase your goals go after what you want guy. But too many people are going to give you flowery language and encouragement, you need a hard reality check before continuing down this path.

[NYPost](https://nypost.com/2025/08/11/business/coding-students-whose-jobs-were-taken-by-ai-forced-to-work-at-chipotle/) article published 30 mins ago about CS majors working at chipotle.

Do some research, we’re in possibly the worst market for cs ever, possibly worse than dotcom bubble. Way too many people graduating and mass outsourcing.

No one knows how things will shake out, but it’s a massive time gamble and investment at your age and stage in life.

“ I’ve missed the boat on a lot of things and this might be one of them.” I’m sorry but you have, I encourage anyone not at MIT/CMU/Stanford/Cal to pivot majors frankly.
Professors from CMU and Berkeley (tied for #1 CS school) have come out for 2 years straight and said their top 4.0 gpa students aren’t getting offers. The top students from the top program are struggling

As a longtime software developer, I’ve felt that “engrossed in my work” for a good chunk of that time. And i was lucky that was the case as if I’m not engrossed, then i have trouble concentrating. There are challenges with the current job market, but if you can keep your current job and study cs on the side, why not?

I wouldn’t do it.
Tech is not an easy industry to break into as a mature new grad. But more importantly, tech is not a career where older people are more respected as it happens in law and medicine. Starting over a decade later than your peers is a huge liability.
Currently, it’s also a pretty bad environment but no one can really predict if it will bounce back and when.
