Where to move after a technical university?

Question

IT education

Hello, I graduated with a degree: "Applied Mathematics and Informatics"
Unfortunately, I have no work experience during the university, all I did was the tasks that were given, there were enough subjects, here are the Database, and the basics of OOP, and Algorithms, and Difuras, and what they didn’t try to shove into us. At some time, I calculated futures prices, played a game about network administration, often analyzed signals in Matlab using Fourier transforms, and sometimes I had to make decisions according to Wald or Savage criteria, write a cabinet opening program, prescribing each its plane using formulas and much more. The only thing I understood after graduating from the university is that I won’t be able to find a job, because what is required is completely different from what was taught, but rather like this: what was taught + a lot more. I don't mind learning, I just don't understand in which direction to develop, Please help with choosing a direction in the field of IT. I liked, for example, creating databases or writing some small programs in Java, I just feel like a horse in a vacuum, it’s not clear how and where to move to do what I like, but I like to think and come up with new solutions. Thanks in advance)

Answer 1

In theory, you should already have been working in the 2nd year.
Where to go is up to you. You can get married.
you can go to work

Answer 2

I don't mind learning, I just don't understand in what direction to develop

In general, there are not very many areas (in descending order of popularity):

• Web (front+back)
  
• Mobile development
  
• Desktop Applications
  
• Applications with all kinds of complex mathematics (Development of a DBMS or some kind of CAD)
  
• A science where programming is used only to simulate some process, or to calculate a lot of numbers.
  

I liked, for example, creating databases or writing some small programs in Java

Look towards spring then. It is often used in backend development in large companies.

I like to think and come up with new solutions

Then look for a company that develops its own products. Then you will have to think and come up with new solutions.
According to my feelings, custom development and freelancing are largely copy-paste and reuse of ready-made solutions.

I don't mind learning

I can also suggest looking at kotlin and C#, in addition to Java.

Answer 3

As already correctly noted in another answer, it was worth starting work earlier. Now it will be harder, but still make your way to the first job. Anywhere they take. Decide on a specialization in the process of growing to the middle.

Answer 4

Throw another python here and an analyst will come out of you.

Answer 5

it is not clear how and where to move in order to do what you like.

I like to think and come up with new solutions

Then think and come up with a solution to the problem: "how and where to move in order to do what you like."
