I’m at this support engineer role but I don’t feel like I’m learning at the rate I should. Thinking about starting with sql, but I’m also thinking networking and even IT consultant. It’s too overwhelming

Math is taught poorly in school because students can't see the immediately real world application for it (beyond basic arithmetic). You should try to code some kind of application that utilizes these things to get a better grasp of it.
Cool tutorial on Python. I like his style of teaching, it's timestamped so you can jump to whatever point you looking for.
This is my brand-new #Python tutorial to learn Python programming from scratch.
We start off by learning Python 3 language constructs and then we'll build 3 Python
projects involving #automation, #machinelearning, and #webdevelopment. Make sure to complete all the exercises in this tutorial.
There's a company on LinkedIn in the Detroit area hiring developers with zero experience. You only need a desire to learn. They'll train you. I saw it the other day, so it's a fresh listing. Didn't save the link, but I will if I come across it, again.
That could have been me if I didn't screw up that Amazon interview

Knew it was Revature before I even saw this post. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT take this job unless you are desperate and on your last leg in life. I had a friend take this same job with them last year and it was a horrible experience. He tried to leave early but there is a huge breach of contract fee. He ended up sticking it out but dude was miserable the entire time.
I got my email from them just in case, these 3 months yields nothing with my previous gained experience.

I had some time at the end of my work day earlier, and read some things on Glassdoor that gave me pause. Not 100%, but reservations. Might be worth it if you just need to get your foot in the door and don't have anything else going. I hadn't read anything in the comments about contract issues, wow. I noticed some differences with software engineers, when it came to those who went thru their training vs. those who came in experienced. Did your friend have experience going in?

Nah, only experience he had was help desk. No programming experience whatsoever. I told him to go the self taught route or try the boot-camp thing but he didn't listen. It all worked out in the end though, he was able to get out of the contract and he's a Jr SE now making decent money.

anyone got good academic journals or links in general on automation in software engineering in the past from lets say from 1980s to about 2000? have to write a college paper on this topic and struggling hard to find relevant information. Want to know what tools were used and what kind of stuff was being automated
Knowledge intensive software engineering tools - IEEE Journals & Magazine
Understanding and controlling software costs - IEEE Journals & Magazine
CASE: reliability engineering for information systems - IEEE Journals & Magazine
- Go to scholar.google.com
- Search for [insert year] 'software engineering automation', or something similar.
- Another option: search for recent automation papers. Look up their references.
