career transition into software engineering w/ chris nowicki, eng lead
guest: chris nowicki, engineering lead at this dot labs
- treat a coding bootcamp as the start, not the finish, since landing a job takes extra skills beyond the technical training
- pick one stack like react and next.js and go deep instead of spreading thin across many frameworks
- attend conferences and talk to people in person since real connections there can lead directly to job opportunities
- offer to help someone on a real project for free to build experience that goes beyond side projects
- build in public by writing about what you are learning, since those articles can stand in for job experience on a resume
