What We Learned About Early Tech Careers from Frankie Nicoletti: CodeNewbie Podcast

Frankie Nicoletti came onto our podcast this week and gave us so much wisdom about entering into the job market post coding-bootcamp. So, we gathered some of the things we learned to share them with you all.

  1. Take risks that will help you get to the places you want to be. Do not be afraid to switch gears when you find a job is not aligning with you.

  2. If you have the ability, treat applying to jobs as a full-time job.

  3. When you are exiting a coding bootcamp, ask for help from the people around you— this is not a solo journey.

  4. Apply to jobs where you are more likely to get a call back.

  5. Stay away from companies that do not have mentoring capacity if you are looking for an entry-level position.

  6. When you are job hunting for your first job, try to table learning new frameworks. Focus on what is ahead of you!

If you listened— what did you learn? Do you have any tips for finding an entry-level job?
