I tried to summarize until I quit the bank and became an engineer

Introduction

Nice to meet you. My name is Shunta. I retired from the bank where I worked for about two years after graduating at the end of April 2019, attended a programming school for half a year from May, and got a job as a data analyst from November. For me, 2019 was a year that changed my life significantly, so I decided to write an article about what I am thinking about as a reflection of the year and my future preparedness.

Overview I described why I left the bank and became an engineer and what the future holds.

I hope this article will serve as a reference for some troubled young people.

Before entering the bank

Before I write down why I left the bank, I would like to briefly introduce myself when I entered the bank. I was a person who grew up in THE Japanese education throughout my life from birth to employment. I was only thinking about my life if I could study, enter a good high school, enter a good university, and enter a good company. I didn't go to college because I wanted to study, so my college life was just like playing mahjong. Having spent such a life, I was very at a loss when I was looking for a job. I have nothing to do ... Even so, I managed to think about myself and decided to get a job at a bank for the following reasons. ・ I like dealing with numbers, so it seems interesting to be able to study financial matters? Can it be used for something in the future? ・ Isn't it difficult to quit because the turnover rate is high? Does it seem to be relatively advantageous for changing jobs? ・ Is it a high income in the world?

Finally? The fact that is attached is an indication that I was thinking only about that much (laugh) When I think about it now, I think there are various other options for this kind of selection, but I haven't been looking for a job until the last minute, and my horizons are still narrow, so I managed to work in the end. I decided to get a job with the feeling that it would be.

What I thought when I entered the bank

The first thing I thought when I entered the bank was that my thoughts didn't fit ... Let me just say one thing, I didn't dislike the bank I was working at, and I have no intention of denying them (although some were not good at it ... lol). Of course, there were many seniors who I could respect. However, the idea of an organization called a bank did not fit at all, and I thought that I would definitely quit somewhere within a few months of entering. For reference, the following are some of the things I think I was stressed by looking back. I think that bank employees are not suitable for people who feel stressed by such things. ・ Hierarchical relationship and poor ventilation ・ Too much unproductive work. ・ Simply don't get excited. ・ I only follow numbers for my own convenience However, I don't have anything I want to do. I wonder if there is).

Reasons to quit the bank and become an engineer

It was around January 2019 that my determination quickly settled. Originally, I dreamed of getting a lot of money and bought virtual currency (my XEM was stolen by the turmoil of the coin check that made the world laugh). In 2018, after going through BTC-FX for the first time and going through Beginner's Luck, I made a common mistake of seeing painful eyes. I hate to lose, and I vow to win at all costs, and at the same time, I learned the thoughts of people who live in various ways through the Internet, and I became keenly aware of the breadth of the world.

Meanwhile, it was people called bottomers who moved my feelings. They used their own automatic trading bots to give images of explosive profits every day. There are a lot of people on Twitter who give me explosive profit images (it's easy to process), so what attracted me was the act of trading with an automatic trading bot, which tickled my intellectual curiosity. This was what made me interested in programming (and that's why I chose python). Then, as I researched programming, I realized that the IT world seemed to be insanely dreamy and interesting, and I decided to change jobs.

Half a year at a programming school

Since I was working in Sendai and had difficulty changing jobs, I had no programming knowledge, so I decided to go to a programming school to change jobs.

I studied at a school called .Pro for half a year. The school was held once a week on Saturday, and there were two presentations in half a year. The good thing about going to school is that I was able to actually make things and listen to the stories of talented people working in the IT industry.

Looking back on the six months briefly, I first studied hard about the basic grammar of python. I would like to say ... For the first two months, I spent my time studying with one hand, focusing on the trades that I personally wanted to do. I won't talk about this because it will take a long time to talk about it, but I think the last two months have been a good opportunity to reconsider my outlook on life.

After that, I did the following: Creating an automatic trading bot. Creating a linebot Create a memo app with Django Studying machine learning Creating a price forecast model with machine learning

While studying like this, I still like mathematics, so I wanted to study more like that, and decided to become a data scientist.

About the company that joined the company

From November, I joined a company that mainly dispatches personnel for analysis work. Since I had been training for two months, I haven't had any impressions about my work yet, but the only thing I can say is that the people around me are very ambitious.

Future outlook

Since mid-December, I have been taking the Jobcare deep learning course, which is an E-qualification certification course. My immediate goal is to become a person who can work as a freelancer by studying machine learning and deep learning. There are many things I want to do, so I will do my best to make them come true one by one. At first, I was worried, but now I'm more excited about what my life will be like.

At the end

I think there are many people, not just bank employees, who have doubts about the current situation or are not satisfied with the current situation. I hope this article will give you a chance to re-examine the lives of those people. I think that each person has different values and environments, but if you have something you want to do or want to change the status quo, I would like you to take the plunge.

It's been a long sentence, but I think it was a good opportunity to reorganize my thoughts. In the future, I would like to write articles on a regular basis, including the meaning of the output, so I hope you will read it!
