#111 - Musician to Software Engineer: Nathan Drake Shares His Odd Journey to Coding and How He Got Hired Fast
About this episode
I spoke with Nathan Drake, a Parsity graduate and software engineer at Paylocity. He came into our program with some basic programming knowledge and was hired literally the day he graduated! This is not normal, but it's also not not normal 🤔.
Nathan went through tutorial hell, learning to code, giving up and re-learning a few times before he went to Parsity. What we offered (and what any good program will offer) is clarity in your learning path and experts who have been where you are and KNOW exactly what you need to reach the next step.
