SO, (as always) we listened to it and compiled some different things we learned about advancing your career in tech that Alice shared with us.

  1. There are communities that can help you learn and explain things that may be confusing to you— you are not alone in your coding journey.

  2. There is no shame in taking a job that will give you money.

  3. Asking for harder challenges at work is an easy way to level up your skills.

  4. Look for other forms of happiness outside just your job so that your life is defined by more than your work.
