WebJoy: Real Stories from Tech About the Struggles and Delights That Made Us Who We Are Today

Clifford Fajardo joins the show to talk about his origin story, from studying social sciences and planning on a career like a lawyer, to going through a coding bootcamp. After leaving the coding bootcamp and being convinced to come back and finish it, he now works at LinkedIn!We discuss him failing the LinkedIn interview the first time before passing it when he returned a year later, and being open to how things come up and just seeing what happens as you build social connections. We also talk about how you learn based on your environment and the people around you, as well as how the tech industry is big enough that you can choose to specialize in a specific tool or community.Discussed LinksCodingTech YouTubeCodeAcademyJavaScript30 by Wes BosRemixClifford's WebsiteClifford's TwitterClifford's GitHubClifford's LinkedIn ApprenticeshipsLinkedIn ReachAirBnB ConnectAmazon Technical ApprenticeshipsTwitter Apprenticeship ❤️ ReviewsIf you could leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, that will help others find the podcast as well!
