Team work!

The team I have had the great pleasure to be a part of during this bootcamp is The Hippo Team. I think they have taught me just as much about great team work as the boot camp has taught me about code. I thought I’d share a couple of things I have gotten to learn this spring thanks to seven incredible women.>>

Remember that you got this!

The Techingo bootcamp is slowly coming to an end, it’s gone by faster than I ever could have imagined. Since the end of the road is closing in, searching for jobs is almost the only thing I do and think about. I hear motivational talks about combining old and new knowledge, becoming that unique snowflake everyone will want to hire. Take your old work experience and… But wait a minute!? What if you don’t have years of work experience, does that mean that you can’t profile yourself in a unique way?>>

Keep calm and code on!

It’s been a weird start to this decade, the fact that a pandemic is currently putting entire countries in quarantine is something that happens on planet earth in the movie universe, not on the actual planet we all live on. Well that was what I thought at least.>>

Is this really impossible?

The second sprint, and first part, of the course is over. It feels a bit surreal to be honest. When I applied to attend the Technigo bootcamp I was so nervous and spent way too many hours on the code application. The suggested amount of hours was about four but I spent close to three days.>>

Is this really impossible?

The first four weeks of this bootcamp have gone by so fast, and at the same time the evening prior to the first meet up day in Stockholm feels like years ago. Everything started with two intense days in Stockholm where I was placed in a team with seven other amazing members. Seven team members that I have not only gotten to know rather well, but also grown fond of, during the past four weeks. With the help of them I have pushed myself out of my comfort zone and started a journey to become a web developer.>>
