Hi,
I've just graduated recently and I'm considering a career as a 'software engineer'. I use speech marks because I understand there are many different types of software engineers. I have a maths degree not comp sci so I'm not too familiar at the moment with the field or industry in general.
My long term plan is that if I ever have a tech idea, I want to be able to build it myself.
Facebook, Uber, Netflix, Spotify, etc, are good examples. I want to be the kind of software engineer who can build apps like these. Of course these are big apps that probably have had teams of engineers build it slowly over a long period of time, but I would want to be able to build at least the MVP and the first few versions for apps like these myself.
So what kind of software engineering should I look into for this? And what tech stack should I learn?
