My recommendations for those wanting to enter the field:

  • Many bootcamps provide an accelerated way to get you properly prepped to interview for junior roles. You can break into the industry on your own, but the money investment on a bootcamp may save you a significant amount of time.
  • A solid resume is essential to be a competitive candidate in the job market. If you have the skills but they're poorly reflected in your resume, you'll underperform seeking a job.
  • Pro Bono opportunities are a great way to add more meat to a resume
  • Soft Skills matter, so understand what that encompasses for the type of technology role you're after.
