Episode description

Caitlyn Greffly used to travel around the country selling beer, but it got tiring. So in pursuit of a more sustainable way of living, Caitlyn started teaching herself to code. She ended up joining a bootcamp and quickly received a job offer before she even completed the program, less than 6 months later.

In this episode, Caitlyn talks about…

  • Applying to boot camps, and how she came back after getting rejected the first time
  • Her experience learning with Thinkful
  • Finding a job in the middle of the boot camp
  • The benefits of reaching out to experts for tips and shadowing opportunities
  • The changes she had to make with her work due to COVID-19
