You don’t need to meet 100% of the requirements to apply for a role.

Job descriptions are a hiring manager’s wish list and they don’t expect candidates to meet all their expectations.

Don’t underestimate yourself - you should be moving your career vertically, not horizontally.

One of the smartest and financially rewarding thing you can do in your career is join a startup.

If the company grows from Series A to a Unicorn, joining early and receiving stock can literally enable you to retire by 35.

Do not sleep on small companies, the financial rewards can be life changing.

The Sims.

I feel proud to know that I’ve bought every game, every expansion pack, every stuff pack over the years. I’ve literally given EA thousands of pounds.

I even remember buying the first Sims pack in a store in 2000. At this point, it’s a committed relationship and I’m not ashamed.

Not enough buzzwords on your resume? Afuera!

If you are looking to transition industries in 2025, you might want to consider FinTech? It’s set to grow into a 1.5 trillion dollar industry by 2032.

High compensation, early stock options, remote work, opportunity to work on really exciting projects, and be at the forefront of tech and finance.

FinTech is also doing really well - it’s expected to become a 1.5 trillion dollar industry by 2032 with a CAGR of 12%.

So many companies are hiring at the moment with the opportunity for high compensation and stock packages. The industry is also gathering pace rapidly in the US.

Congrats both, really exciting news!

You don’t need to have a software engineering background to have a successful career in tech.

The easiest route is finding a role in customer success or client care and developing your skills.

Once you have your foot in the door, you can apply for opportunities internally.
