Maybe I've been looking at the wrong companies, then. It seems like the majority of openings are looking for formal educational attainment or years of on-the-job experience that, as a self-taught programmer paying bills via a different field, I simply don't have.
- ummonk 5y agoIf you can make it work, I'd recommend going the bootcamp route (with a bootcamp that pays a stipend and uses an income share agreement).
- rmbyrro 5y agoDon't be afraid of applying. If they find you a good problem solver, who is eager to learn, is humble and has reasonable cognitive skills, many companies may decide to extend an offer, even if they don't have an opening exactly to your profile at the moment. I've seen this happen with friends of mine applying remotely during the pandemic.
