2. Elisa’s Origin Story Part #4: Transitioning into tech
How I transitioned:
-Let people I knew in tech know I was looking
-Figured out my most likely transferrable skills
-Didn’t walk in with preconceived notions about who I needed to be or what I needed to do
-Getting foot in the door applies any time you want to shift or transition
-Life doesn’t have to be linear, and neither does your career
-If your choice wasn’t the right one? Choose something else
-Don’t worry on day one about what happens if you’re wrong.
