Hi everyone!
My name is Raquel. I’m looking for a Junior software developer role in New York. I am new to the field since I switched careers after 10 years in education. I decided to make my dreams come true and code! I just graduated a bootcamp, and would love to find a dev role, either fullstack, or backend or frontend. Please let me know if you have any leads. Also I love this group, such a good idea!

Welcome to the FGB family Raquel!
Highly admire you going for your dream. I've spent the past 31 years in Customer Service/Account support roles. But my passion is teaching and I graduated with my Bachelors in Elementary Ed when I was 45.
All the best!

I did a software engineer immersive course (also known as bootcamp) at General Assembly. They have programs online, or in-person in different cities, and they have a full time program for 3.5 months, or a part time program I think for 6 or 8 months. I loved it. Learned a lot! my instructors were amazing!
