Hi everyone! I wanted to interrupt my episodes and take a step back to just share what my current job-situation is like and what my goals are in the future, just because I want to share more in-depth episodes about the job application process and post-bootcamp life, but also wanted to share what I'm up to these days career-wise... especially since I'm giving away much unsolicited advice surrounding this whole coding topic :)
hope you enjoy!
