advice for working in Software with a math BS?

<p>You should definitely be able to find a job in Austin with the CS classes you have taken, unless you completely failed to learn the material. As simba9 said, the pay may not be great at first, but the tech industry is mostly a meritocracy, so if you do good work that won’t last long.</p>

<p>Many Austin tech companies do some kind of “boot camp” intensive program to prepare college students and recent graduates for internships or entry-level jobs, including my own. PM me and I’ll send you the details. It can be a great way to get your foot in the door at a good company.</p>

<p>I suggest learning some form of SQL (Microsoft T-SQL and MySQL are probably the most marketable) if you can. That seems to be the most important gap in what you have learned so far. I’ve found that math majors often excel at it, perhaps because they are more accustomed to thinking in set theory. And a programmer who knows how to work with the database will float to the top of the resume stack in many organizations.</p>
