Spent the last decade working toward becoming an architect, made a switch the last 10 months toward becoming a Software Engineer.

I am making a massive pivot from a somewhat niche/small industry in architecture to the massive, highly saturated world of tech as a Software Engineer. I have completed a bootcamp recently and I'm trying to keep furthering my skills.

I'd appreciate any advice from anyone who has worked with or works as a Software Engineer... or in the tech world generally.

    I work with Software Engineers. First, be willing to start at the bottom rung. Second, make sure the company has tuition reimbursement. That way you can advance your education at low cost. Third, be proactive taking and working assignments. Better to risk finishing a project early then have it cancelled rather than have your work the reason a project is late. Hope this helps.

    Hey, descubrí este casino online mientras buscaba nuevas opciones para jugar por la noche y me llamó la atención que tenga propuestas también para jugadores de España. Me registré a través de https://roll-dorado.bet/es-es y decidí empezar con Book of Dead para probar suerte. Al principio tuve varias tiradas sin premio y pensé que no era mi día, pero luego subí un poco la apuesta y activé una ronda bonus con una buena ganancia. Ese giro inesperado me convenció y ahora entro a jugar allí con frecuencia.
