Have you wondered what it would be like to change your career to working as a developer in tech? Do you think it's too late to make this change? Join me as I share my story of changing careers in my 40's and becoming a developer at Stitch Fix, a top Silicon Valley tech company. In this episode, I debunk the top myths about working in tech. I share my journey from Executive Assistant, to online bootcamp, to startup, and then dream job. I talk about the qualities it takes to excel as a developer, working remotely, and my personal story with battling the age issue and finding my happy work home. Bottom line: It IS possible to change your career no matter what age or stage of life you are at, and I encourage everyone to check out my links for more information:My bootcamp: https://www.codingdojo.com/*ask about scholarships & tell them I sent you!Try out coding for free: https://www.codecademy.com/Stitch Fix Blog: https://multithreaded.stitchfix.com/Quote of the week:“Grit is having the courage to push through, no matter what the obstacles are, because it’s worth it.” - Chris MorrisLearn how to flip your dreams through my course on Teachable: https://flipping-dreams.teachable.com/More about Heather: https://heatherreneemay.com/bioFB Page: https://www.facebook.com/heatherreneemayPodcast theme music: https://heatherreneemay.com/musicIt's never too late to transform your past and empower your future!https://ratethispodcast.com/flippingdreams
