I'm considering transitioning to industry, but my coding experience is limited to basic Python. I’m concerned that, with a strong theoretical background but limited engineering skills, I might struggle to find a good fit. Additionally, with the tightening job market, the abundance of remote talent, and the rise of tools like Copilot, I’m wondering how these factors might impact my prospects.
For those who’ve made a similar transition—or who have hired people with this kind of background—how did it go? What roles or paths have worked best for you?
