| | I recently completed my masters degree in VLSI from a top 15 school in the US. But in the last two years, I have become very interested in software. However, because of the course structure and time constraints, I never got time to learn any programming language. I can program in C and know basic HTML and CSS. I really want to move into software but since I have no projects/experience in software, companies refuse to even look at my resume. How do I move into software and get a job in that domain. |

Good luck! People with your background can bring a lot to the table, you just need to achieve the relevant software background first.
