Episode description
What separates successful tech career changers from those who struggle?
After switching careers into tech at 31 following years of addiction, and mentoring hundreds of aspiring developers, I've noticed some odd patterns and traits of those who make it vs those who don't.
This episode is not meant to discourage you. I hope it gives you a practical idea of some skills you can develop and ultimately, whether you should consider this career path.
I'd love to know your take as well - leave a comment or email me at brian@parsity.io
