On May 27th, 2017 I found myself googling about MBAs again, and somehow I stumbled upon software engineering. I always kept the thought of an MBA in the back of my mind, but every time I looked at the price tag of the top schools, my interest waned. ![]() ![]() I enjoyed solving technical problems, but I knew I wanted to get into the business/startup world at some point. I worked there until I changed careers into Software Engineering. I hadn’t done any programming outside of school, in high school or college, until I decided I wanted to learn last year.Īfter college, I got a job as a Process Engineer at a refinery. I graduated from a good university with a chemical engineering degree and a good GPA (three years ago). In my freshman engineering course (seven years ago), I learned some C, Python, Matlab, and Labview. I took a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) course in high school (nine years ago). Nonetheless, I hope that my story inspires others and acts as a valuable data point that can be added to your success story dataset. I never found someone who had the same background as I did, and most likely mine won’t match yours exactly. ![]() Whenever I would start reading a success story, I would immediately look to find the author’s background, hoping it would match mine. 'In this post, I’ll share how I went from zero(ish) to a six-figure software engineering job offer in nine months while working full time and being self-taught. Everyone has a different journey and we hope this inspires you to start your own. This inspiring article written by Austin Tackaberry tells us of his journey to becoming a self-taught Software Engineer in a matter of months.
