Hi everyone!

I'm a career changer looking to pivot into tech as a front-end developer in the Boston area or remotely. I have a background in Quality Engineering for medical devices and aerospace. It's been tough applying to roles, not hearing back, or receiving automated rejection emails. Do people have any suggestions for job leads? I've also considered contract work but have had some bad experiences when I was a temp worker. Does anyone work in the tech field that I could ask questions to?

Hi - I am a returner to tech after having my family and I have noticed the same thing. The process is totally different now. Temp work makes IT go round. You need to get your first professional project and that in turn will get your next more secure job with a company. I would be happy to help you.

Hi Susan. I would love the help with finding my first role in tech. It's especially difficult knowing I'm competing with more experienced tech workers who just got laid off.
