    Currently going through CourseCareers software engineer course. This interview was timely. I definitely look forward to having that conversation with my manager where I get ask about how to the best or scale up to the level of a master or principal software engineer at whatever company I get to work at.
    Question, is leveled careers some type of mentorship program for people that's already established in their careers but are looking to scale up or is it more like a job training and job placement type of platform?

    This couldnt have come at a better time. Where I'm currently at is very similar to where he was earlier in his career. I took the leap into tech early this year with a software developer bootcamp (fortunately my job paid for) and quickly realized that with all the layoffs + the rise of AI, my chances of breaking into that field were slim to none. I have classmates who still are looking for jobs 8 months later. I ultimately decided on switching to tech sales and just got an offer ($90k OTE). Hearing stories like this only get me that much more amped for where I'm headed!
