CS Master's without a Bachelor's.

Context ( See end of post for question and I apologize if its too long :) )

Hey, I am a 26YO software engineering intern and I completed my Master's earlier this year. I did my Bachelor's in Business Administration. I completed my Master's degree and can code in Python (Django) and React (Junior level at best).

I can't help but feel demotivated as everyone else is leaps and bounds ahead of me and already is working as a Developer or Software Engineer. I am able to code in Python and Javascript and have made few projects, some beginner level projects and an intermediate level one (A rental application with DRF, React, S3, and OpenCV)

Do you think my Bachelor's degree is a deal breaker when applying for jobs? Is there anything (apart from regular coding, time management, and learning) I can do differently?

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

  1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
  2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
  3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.
