Good managers see you as team members instead of labor force. They ask for your advice and act accordingly to help you grow in your career.

I got an undegrad degree in Microbiology. I was always fascinated with programming and software engineering, so I took some online courses and taught myself to code which led me to get an internship in software engineering at my current company. My question is how do I set myself apart from applicants with a CS degree and get a full time job in software engineering?

Most of my work is changing existing react code, this tutorial is great to see a bigger picture. props to you man ;)
Several ways to get noticed in the application process:
* Go to Kaggle and participate in some of their competitions. * Build an ML program from the ground up to help build your portfolio (something like a dog door that only opens to your dog).
* Implement a paper from arxiv - try to understand what the paper is about, then download the data set and implement the model they are talking about and see if you get similar results. Then, write a blog post about what you did....

Great Resource! But a good primer to Linear Algebra would be Gilbert Strangs course at MIT OCW.
Which course did you take?
This is an amazing resource! thanks for sharing
Super informative! Thank you for starting this discussion.
Yea, but I don't miss begging for grants, & headaches around funding. With Engineering you get to enjoy life more. You get to pick your poison...
I picked engineering. Because doing research in industry is not as stimulating as it is in an academic setting. You do not have complete freedom - often times your project is set and you are just exploring new pathways your director asked you to....
The role of the engineer has more freedom to experiment different protocols/methods and apply their work more readily against the problem at hand.
In short:
Research in industry: find different ways to potentially solve problems - & often times your work gets tossed away if something else comes up. => not as gratifying. (also less pay)
Engineering: solve the problem. => instant gratification.

I am curious to see other people's solutions.

If you are talking about equities:
Very simple trick when investing in stocks. Look for companies with great management. The better the management the more confident you can be of them making similar decisions that lead them to success in the first place. (doesn't always work - but worked so far for me).
Look for value in companies. Sometimes stupid news can open value in a company. i.e. $TSLA's recent downfall and bounce back.
Most this type of info is available from following sources:
Google finance,
Bloomberg,
S&P Capital IQ,
Seeking alpha,
...and believe it or not TWITTER.
I am familiar with Python and learned deep learning that way. Now would like to learn C++...
3blue1brown is truly amazing!
