Yeah? Its like saying you want to be a dancer and then getting rejected by a strip club.
My personal advise is dont do software. I have many reasons, including I have done software and I've gotten into this discussion before I cant be bothered doing it again.
My professional advice is that there are countless under the radar software companies out there. I worked for some small businesses before that had massive clients. In these cases, youre looking for their customers and not so much the employer themselves. The businesses I have done work for are completely unheard of, but their clients are the selling point on a resume.

Write good code. Good programmers can recognize people talented in the art. Build your portfolio with whatever, just write nice code that will make them think of you as a future colleague. The devil recognizes his own, and so do programmers.

I’ve enjoyed writing in the functional paradigm, but I’ve heard this is looked down upon. Should I stick more with OO / imperative, or could mixing clean functional code in (in Python or Swift projects, say) be seen as a positive?
