Welcome to Culture of Code Podcast! Each week, we seasoned and successful software engineers and tech leaders to divulge the secrets to their growth and success in the tech industry.
I think it depends on the person. Today, even with a college degree & lengthy experience .. people are having a tough time finding the IT Jobs everywhere.
I think you guys mean well , but people need to stop sharing stories of breaking into tech pre 2023. It is a totally different job market with the high interest rates. Show me the people breaking into tech no degree in 2024 and that is impressive. Back then it was way easier because companies had free money with how low the interest rates were so they hired alot of fluff employees. These videos are a waste of time and give people false hope.
It’s still possible today but, you pretty much have to no life it for the best shot. Also, one major thing that gets left out is yes, “everybody can code” but actually being an engineer/scientist something everybody can’t do, you 100% need some type of talent in the field in today market to have a shot especially if self-taught. I find that, the people who are complaining about not getting/landing jobs where mostly likely never qualified to begin with. It’s not a high skill job for no reason. It’s easy to be a “coder”, but to be an actual programmer requires high skills that are already out of grasp for most of the population.
I actually agree, now you need a degree or prior experience in most cases for big tech. Buttt you can also target lower paying tech adjacent jobs at local companies, like I did at a law firm, to help them automate their processes, and this could get someone out of a minimum wage job for example.
Not necessarily true but a extant yes. I agree 100% you need some formal education to get into the field but, you can get in without a degree. It’s just your going too pretty much have to no life it and work for free to have a shot in the field, and of course be talented.
it's way easier as a (white) woman because their networks actually help each other out, like indians and the gay networks are good at. the broads are simply merging into the white majority actually while getting all the minority benefits.

That's our Billie. I am proud to be a coworker of yours and even more proud to call you my friend. I see your dedication daily and I am so hyped when we talk about what you learn about tech each day. Continue to be great! IT Team 💪🏾
Billie, thanks for sharing and inspiring others. The ripple effect will reach generations beyond your own and your children's. Happy for you and blessed by you. Thank you Culture of Code for spotlighting this amazing feat!
She talked a lot about learning to code, but Tech Support is actually very different. One may type out some commands within a Windows shell occasionally, but I wouldn't call that coding either. I know tech support people that cannot code and I also know coders that do not have the skill set to do tech support. Tech support is often about finding configuration problems, incorrect installs, software conflicts, how to use an application like Excel, etc., etc.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am presently enrolled in a coding bootcamp. Starting over at 50 after a divorce and changing careers. You are an inspiration. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Congratulations on enrolling in a coding bootcamp - that takes a lot of courage and determination, especially when you're making such a big life change at 50. Wishing you all the best on your coding journey! Rooting for you! 🙌

Thank you for sharing. I have a question; What kind of calendar are you using? Is it a self-made one or a benchmark calendar, with specific features for your type of job or parenting/work focused? I'm a mom coding student myself, and I don't think I'm handling time management that well. So, any advice or time tools you could share?
