๐ Reflecting on my career, I leaped from teaching to diving into the tech world. Landed in the US with zero English skills, and I juggled learning the language and picking up coding skills. The highlight? Nailing my first tech gig at Google, pocketing a decent 75K+ annually โ quite the switch from the struggles of my earlier days.
Humbling to be the first in my family with a degree, and being a first-generation immigrant. These wins, far from personal glory, shout out breaking boundaries and setting the stage.
With a heart full of thanks, I'm on a mission to guide others on a similar road, giving a hand to those eyeing the tech scene.
The journey might throw curveballs, but the room for change and growth is crazy cool. ๐๐ผ
