I was in the same position about 8 years ago, having completed a PhD in algebraic number theory with only some basic coding from undergrad under my belt. At the time, I was offered some very helpful advice from folks who had also been in that same position before me, and I ultimately ended up landing a SWE role at Facebook. Since then, I’ve always felt I should pay it forward.

There’s more to say than can fit into an HN comment, and I’d be happy to answer any specific questions you have, so please feel free to reach out to me through the contact form on my website.
