how many times have you said to yourself that you want to quit your job and find a job in tech? your job isn’t aligned with your interests and you don’t feel like you’re growing — you just don’t see yourself there any you find yourself wondering what else you could do and you keep hearing about your friends getting jobs in tech and loving it. your. friends are working on exciting products you actually use yourself and they seem to be moving ahead. maybe you want to transition to tech from consulting or banking like everyone else in your start clas*. maybe you’re burned out from your non-profit and want to get a taste of the private sector at a tech company. or, maybe you’re just out of grad school and you want a regardless, you’ve made up your mind that you want a job in tech.. inevitably, a flood of questions and insecurities start to cloud your thinking. for the first four years after graduating college with an econ degree, i was jumping between one random thing to another to pay the rent. i was stuck. amongst other things, this included trying to sell ebooks and pants (yes, like real pants) online. at that time, i was living out in the bay area and my good friend, sam, was working at facebook. i remember the first time he took me to lunch at the facebook office, back when it was at 1601 california ave in palo alto. the office felt alive with people who actually seemed to like what they were working on. also, my mind was blown that i was in the place where people built the product i was spending hours and hours using every day. after eating at every station (sam said he was embarras*ed at how much i ate), taking 3 red bulls to go, and packing a handful of cliff bars in my backpack, i left dreaming about working at a place like facebook, but self-conscious about if i could ever make that happen.. i knew i wanted to work at a tech company, but i was really insecure. > i didn’t think i had the right degree, experience, and background > to work in tech.
