Hi Michael, I hold an undergraduate degree in Computer Science. I somewhat retained the memory of some of the lessons I've learned while I was still in college hence the transition was not too difficult in my case.
While I was a Relationship Manager, I tried to build & customize my own Shopify store on my free time which led me to discovering GitHub, which then led me to freeCodeCamp, and some courses on Udemy, LinkedIn Learning & on Skillshare.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing :) Really dig the journey you took. Looks like you have a lot of experience as a non-developer. Would you say some of the skills you have from your prior jobs helps as a developer? Really believe it would.
Definitely! Working in a call center somewhat helped me gain an understanding of how people living in Canada and Australia think. Sales taught me how to stand my ground and persuade 😄. Being a Business Development Executive in a startup taught me how to think & create strategies on my own(aligned with the companies vision, of course). And being a Relationship Manager taught me how to sell in a building-a-relationship-with-the-client manner 😄

Very cool! Were you in undergrad somewhere along the timeline you shared or did you have your degree before working?
No, I was a college undergraduate. 😄
