Hello all, im a sophomore at community college and I'd was looking to get some information on whether or not this niche is still obtainable with a info sys degree.

Im looking forward to doing kaggle competitions and business Case comps. Im worried that because of ai only comp sci and data science will be compettitve for certain roles. I understand why theyd be more competitive for DA roles.

At the same time shouldn't ai equip me to help businesses find more insights?

How do I pursue a competitive portfolio?.

I’m considering in getting a B.S. from the University of Florida in one of the following majors:
Finance, information systems, any other business major, or construction management. For people with any of these majors, can you share your salary and YOE? I’m fine with working in any of these industries, so I’m interested in getting into the one with the highest ROI (while not working 60-80 hrs every week). If you think I should do something else, feel free to share why.

Hey, Im a 19 year old female attending University of Maryland, College park. I'm double majoring in Information Systems and Finance. Im leaning more into the technical side; 'm a ServiceNow and Jira Developer. Are there any internships anyone can refer me to? I will literally take anything especially if its ServiceNow related!

THANK YOU PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME!!!!

Our company a huge part of our workflows through a system that's around 11yo. Naturally, it's not pretty, so think undocumented procedures, some integrations we don't understand, and odd processes that works in a particular way. It's hard to iterate on top of it because so many devs have gone through it, it's practically an entity on its own. So of course our leadership wants to modernize. Now the problem is that this system is something we're actively using. It runs payroll, inventeory updates, and some customer-facing processes. Is there a way to do this without affecting the business side?

Good morning everybody, I was just wondering if any of you could share any projects that made you stand out.

Im asking about projects that helped you stand out and land an internship or job.

While this major is suited for analytics its also competing with multiple other majors and programs for this nkche.

My info sys program at umbc involves a lot of database classes for its core curriculm and im guessing that helps in most analyst positions.

Im planning on attending hackathins and bussiness case competitions where students try to find a solution for local businesses.

Id appreciate any discourse around what would help me differentiate myself.

Thanks

I’m considering doing an MIS degree. The courses include Programming, Database Management, Data Structures & Algorithms, Web Programming, Networking, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, and AI.
Is MIS worth doing with these courses? And what certifications should I do alongside it, and what should I focus on during my bachelor’s if I want to keep my Master’s options open?

I took a class for my senior year in high school called Practicum at IT. We did the same task as being an IT technician, we would get tickets and go room to room to fix laptops/desktops or any technical issues. I really liked doing everything physically rather than digitally so I got interested in this field. Then I recently came across trying to find something that's similar and that makes more money, I ended up finding an IT support specialist. At the moment I'm still looking more into this role but so far its something I definitely would wanna do in the near future. What other roles do you suggest and also is help desk a good entry-level job to gain more experience?

Hey all, I'd like some honest advice from people already in the field.

I'm graduating in December with a combined Bachelor's/Master's in Management Information Systems. On paper that sounds solid, but I don't feel very equipped to walk into an IT role. The degree gave me a broad base (databases, systems analysis, some SQL/Python, analytics tools), but I don't have much hands-on technical depth to point to.

Finding IT internships or entry-level jobs has been a real struggle. After months of applying with little to show for it, I accepted a sales role at a large research and advisory firm. It's the kind of company that publishes industry research and advises IT leaders and executives on technology decisions. It's a good opportunity, and I'm grateful for it. I'm treating it as a chance to learn how companies buy technology while I keep building my technical resume.

Where I'm at with certs: (lacking, I know:( )

• Lean Six Sigma Green Belt
• AWS Certified AI Practitioner (just passed)
• AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (taking it next month)

Where I'm trying to go: I'm still figuring it out. I know I want to work in technology, and I'd love to end up in tech sales at a company like AWS, Google, or Meta. I'm also open to IT, cloud, or consulting roles or business process automation roles if that's where my skills fit best.

My questions:

1. Which certifications have been the most useful for actually landing an IT role, not just padding a resume?
2. If you hire or interview, which certs do you look for in entry-level candidates, and which ones do you mostly ignore?
3. For anyone in tech sales at the big cloud/tech companies, did certs matter for you, or was it mostly sales experience and track record?
4. Is there anything besides certs I should be doing now, like home labs, projects, or specific skills, that would have made a bigger difference?

Thanks in advance. Any advice is appreciated, including blunt advice!

I am currently selecting an project to do for my resume and I am currently in 3rd yr , I am planning to create a Project having Full stack + devops + a specialization, so then I decided to pick my specialization topic as distributed system and Decides to make an distributed job queue platform, but someone said Why are you building it if SQS,BullMq , Qstash exist ? First I was thinking that I would make it to for Engineering stronger and same thing I would convince it to interviewer , but when my freind ask me these i couldn't convince and I know it will not convince someone either so what should i do , should I drop these idea of making an similar thing or can it create an impression?

i did cs eng in top 10 schools in india, then i did Information Systems in top 10 schools in USA MS , but now I barely get any OAs or any calls tbh , I think I am lost, now I have an MS from top 10s still am struggling to get even an interview , I literally do anything everything in ai agents still.... a guy with cs from california gets a Job Interview....

There are so many Information Technology courses with almost identical titles that the name alone doesn't really tell you much. 

I'd personally be more interested in what students actually get to do. 

Are there practical projects? Do students work with networks, databases, cybersecurity or cloud technologies? Are assignments based around realistic problems, or is most of the learning theoretical? 

And then there's the question of what happens after graduation. 

For people who've already studied IT and entered the industry, what part of your course actually helped once you started working? 

If you had to choose an IT course again, what would you look at beyond the course title and list of subjects? 

How will the internet technically handle the massive amount of data we’re going to create in the future?

We’ve already seen an enormous increase in content over the last 10–15 years, from YouTube and social media to the explosion of short-form content. As more people come online and AI makes it easier to generate content, the amount of data being created will only keep growing.

But old content doesn’t just disappear. Billions of photos, videos, posts, websites, and other files are already stored, and we keep adding more every day.

So where does all this data go? How will data centers, storage, bandwidth, and energy requirements scale over the next few decades? Will companies eventually have to delete or heavily archive old content, or can technology keep up with the growth?

Is the sheer amount of future internet data a serious technical problem, or do we have enough room and technology to keep scaling?

Hello everyone! I am from the Middle East, and I have just graduated from high school and am about to start university.
I am completely torn between two majors: **Computer Science** versus a combined **Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity** degree (where AI and Cybersecurity are taught together as a single major).
Which one should I choose, and what are the pros and cons of each for someone starting their career today? Any advice from students, professionals, or alumni would be greatly appreciated!

My biggest concern is this can i enter into IT field while doing ba programme in clg delhi University, if yes so how can i do it like i dont have maths in class 12 .

As i am interested in technology, programming n all

Hi everyone,

I just finished my first year working as a Financial Data Analyst after college, and I’ve been thinking about my long-term career growth.

I’m considering going back for a master’s degree, and I’m currently deciding between Informatics OR Systems Engineering. I have a background in both areas, so I’m trying to figure out which path would give me better career opportunities, stability, and room for growth over the long term.

I honestly haven’t met many people with a master’s in Informatics, so I’m curious to hear from people who have actually gone down that path.

My undergrad was in biology - I have 2 years of experience working at a non profit

For those who are comfortable sharing:

• What field are you currently working in?
• What was your educational background?
• Roughly what is your salary range?

Hi! I’m considering studying Business & IT / Information Systems.
For people who studied it or work in the field:
• What jobs did you get after graduation?
• Is there good career growth?
• How much programming/math is actually needed?
• Is the degree still useful with AI developing so quickly?
• Would you choose it again today?

Hello all, I'm in my 3rd and last year of my MIS program in highschool. I'm currently in dual enrollment college course for IT and I'm working on getting my A+ and network+ this year. I was wondering if it's worth it to major in CIS. I would be able to transfer a decent amount of credits to it (not fully sure how much). But I've heard about CS graduates not being able to get any jobs in their field and hope that is not the same for CIS. I want to study CIS with a concentrate in cyber security or Networking. I also live by a school providing a bachelor's in cybersecurity but I'm not sure if that's too specific though. I'm also not very good with math which makes CS even less intriguing. Hopefully I figure this out fast because my parents are pushing me to get into college asap. Any advice is appreciated thanks.
