How Trina found an exciting career change to Cloud Software Engineering after SheCodes Pro
πββοΈ Before SheCodes
Β
"I heard about SheCodes through my friend Sarah who is also a career-changer. She went from studying Chemistry to working as a data engineer in a Fintech company within two years, and she encouraged me to try coding to see if I had a passion for it. SheCodes was the first website she recommended, and I honestly can't thank her enough!"
π©βπ» Her SheCodes Experience
Trina worked while she learned coding with SheCodes Pro. She found the structure of SheCodes classes to be valuable in saving time on research, allowing her to dedicate her energy towards completing the workshops and projects. π
"I started reaching out to others in the SheCodes community, which was enormously motivating. We talked about things that were blocking us and tried as much as possible to help each other progress. My experience with SheCodes was everything I could have asked for."
π How SheCodes has Helped to Change Her Life
For Trina, SheCodes wasnβt the final step but it provided an essential and accessible introduction to the world of coding. The classes are designed for you to develop skills bit by bit until, before you know it, youβre coding sophisticated websites and apps! In every creative field, a full portfolio of completed projects can give you a lot of confidence in applying for work. With SheCodes, particularly the Max package of workshops, you can graduate with eight real-life projects created with feedback from expert developers.
"If it wasn't for the JavaScript I learnt from SheCodes, I wouldn't have been able to pass the technical interview, and having front-end web development experience from SheCodes gave me the confidence to tackle learning the back end.β

π©βπΌ Advice to Future SheCodes Student
Β
"Be open-minded about roles in the tech industry such as DevOps, Cloud Solutions Architects and sales which are just as interesting as dev roles. Seize as many networking opportunities as you can to learn more about the industry and meet others, and don't be afraid of applying to jobs requiring 1-2 years of experience."
