[D] Am I making a mistake? (alien.top)

By walking away (for now) from 10 years of health care data analytics experience? I just graduated with my Computer Science degree and got offered an entry level SWE role working more on a SWE/cybersecurity type of role.

My intent was to start a MLE role as soon as I graduated back in June 2023 but of course, I keep graduating into recessions lol. My previous degrees were a BS in Biology and a Master's in Public Health. Currently in a MS in CS program.

But a big pro is that I would be working with very highly trained Computer Scientists/SWEs willing to train me. I am a bit tired of some of the people I work with in data analytics coming from all kinds of backgrounds which is great, but I am interested in being able to be trained by very knowledgeable people. For the last 10 years, I was the one expected to know everything with little to no training.

Learning to code is useful for many roles.
