Hey everyone! For anyone who is looking to break into tech from a "non-traditional" background, I'm sure you know just how hard it actually is. I understand this struggle first hand. ⁣That's why for the last lil bit I've been writing this booklet 📚to act as a resource (and inspo!) for all the other career pivoters, bootcamp grads, and self-taught techies out there - and it's finally been launched! It's for all of us that don't have a CS degree from an Ivy League school. Or for anyone feeling some type of way about whatever backgrounds and experiences you think you're missing.⁣⁣The booklet is a compilation of 15+ stories of "non-traditional" technologists, following the wins and common-but-unspoken struggles they went through to land their first tech job as a developer, designer or product manager. We go over imposter syndrome, and celebrate their wins while normalizing the stress and struggles behind their success. ⁣Would love any feedback and support! 🎉Let me know what you think and if it helps!⁣Ultimately though, I hope reading it reminds you that the lived experiences and different perspectives you bring are so valuable, and that you belong in tech. ✨
