Description

Amber joins the show to talk about her origin story, from studying economics and accounting to learning how to program, becoming a software engineer and now co-hosting the Glowing in Tech podcast.

We discuss the challenges of getting into tech as a career switcher, and the 4 types of imposter syndrome. She shares about how she started interviewing for technical degrees and jobs too early, but what she learned from that journey.
