Undergrad -> Med school for 1 year (withdrew) -> High school teacher -> Grad school for a PhD (finished) -> Software engineer.
I didn't really ever feel out of place. I adapt pretty well no matter where I go. I do feel a bit weird as a software engineer sometimes. I have the title but joke that I'm not a real one because I'm still learning fundamental SWE things like architecture. I can code like crazy, but I don't really know a lot of the stuff you'd learn in school.
As far as an adjustment period... Not really. I taught myself to write processing code as well as software in grad school. I read extensively about best practices, clean code, programming on a team, etc. So I was able to arrive and get to work on things. Sometimes I feel inadequate but it's never the coding portion. And that may just be my personality as well. There is always more to learn and know than I can learn or know. Since I can't know everything, I just have to learn what I can each day and be content with that.

Comment on Diablo 4 is a great PC port - except you need a 16GB graphics card to match PS5 in ~games

I do think the last part of the renown system is tedious, but that's just me. Getting all the altars of Lilith took 3 evenings, but was worth it. I guess I will just run tier 1 world on dungeons until I clear all of the renown stuff.
Same. I am now having a problem with the USB port, so charging and transferring are starting to be difficult. I have to angle the cable JUUUUST right otherwise it doesn't work.
I may just try to buy a new port and re-solder it. It works perfectly fine besides that. Best e-reader I have ever owned.
