Taking the leap into the tech industry, whether you\u2019ve just finished studying or are making a big career change, can be scary. These are my favourite pieces of advice from learning new skills, communicating with your team and being kind to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get comfortable, being uncomfortable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other industries, the tech world is always changing around you. If you have learned\u00a0SQL<\/a>\u00a0in your\u00a0Bootcamp\u00a0or University classes it doesn\u2019t stop here. You will be faced with new syntax, changes to the language itself and potentially a new language to learn in your first role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will never ever know everything about your tools, and that\u2019s ok. What\u2019s important is that you embrace it rather than trying to chase perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There's always so much to learn, and you will never truly know everything about your chosen tool.

Things change quickly, so get comfortable with being uncomfortable.#CodeNewbie<\/a> #100DaysOfCode<\/a> #womenintech<\/a> #womenwhocode<\/a> #programmers<\/a><\/p>— Helen (@helenanders26) May 8, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>
