Switching jobs can be tricky, but switching industries and leaping into a new career is no joke. Throughout this season I’ll share little bits about my journey breaking into my new tech role. When I started, I spent 2 months in a bootcamp learning the fundamentals required to succeed as a pre-sales system engineer. With a background primarily in Mechanical Engineering, I was surprised to be considered for the job. But remember this, most companies that think you’re the perfect candidate for the role will TEACH YOU what you need to know! You meet the qualifications - Go Apply for that Job, Sis!
