Episode description
Parsity grad Nils decided to change careers at 44 from professor of music to software engineer.
His story may not seem typical but in many ways it follows the same pattern that has worked for other career changers:
- He worked on real world projects in exchange for credibility.
- He was open to hybrid opportunities.
- He went outside LinkedIn and leveraged his personal network.
His life changed.
Pretty cool story.
Nils breaks down how he did it in this episode with some practical takeaways for listeners.
