S1 E36: I left the coding bootcamp a week into it (Clifford / @CliffordFajard0)
Description
Clifford Fajardo joins the show to talk about his origin story, from studying social sciences and planning on a career like a lawyer, to going through a coding bootcamp. After leaving the coding bootcamp and being convinced to come back and finish it, he now works at LinkedIn!
We discuss him failing the LinkedIn interview the first time before passing it when he returned a year later, and being open to how things come up and just seeing what happens as you build social connections. We also talk about how you learn based on your environment and the people around you, as well as how the tech industry is big enough that you can choose to specialize in a specific tool or community.
