Seeking Elpha members who learned coding later in your career and found it gave you a leg up in your work
Hi Elpha members,I have a request hope you are able to help out. I am writing an article for Elpha on learning technical skills as an MBA student. I’d love to interview some of our members, If you have similar experience coming from a business background but learned coding later on and felt the technical skills give you a leg up in your work. I want to hear from you and learn about your stories. Thanks!
maggiewolff·Jan 28, 2021maggiewolff·Jan 28, 2021I worked in marketing for 10+ years and then moved into a marketing analytics role and then learned to code (R, Python, and SQL so far), but did so to pursue a career in analytics. It definitely helped me - I moved on to a product analytics role at Expedia.
