Remote work is here to stay: after being forced to work from home in 2020, it seems we’ve sort of realized it’s actually fine to skip the commute and join the company meeting from the comfort of your sofa. Or is it? While remote work certainly sounds easy and laid-back, it’s not just about remembering to unmute yourself on the Zoom call: remote brings its own challenges, and if you’re aiming to get hired for a remote or hybrid role, you have to get comfortable with it, and show you’re capable of giving your best in an online environment and aligning with the company and with your coworkers.

Have you been thinking about switching careers? You wouldn’t be the first: about half of the workforce is considering a job change, and 20% have already taken the leap in 2022, joining professional fields with growing demand, such as Tech. They call it the Great Reshuffle for a reason: even in the most unpredictable of times, workers have raised their standards and aren’t afraid to go for it, because pivoting careers might not be as difficult as you think.

UX/UI Design
We have a few shocking statistics for you: only 28% of the international tech workforce is made up of women and engineering is the field that has the largest gap, with only 15% of jobs held by women. And the reasons for this gap are systemic and widespread; 31% of surveyed middle school girls in the US believe that coding and programming aren’t for them, 40% agree in high school, and 58% in college.

Web Development
Let's start with the basics: what is web development? Put simply, web development is the process of building, maintaining, and managing functional websites. This can include everything from designing the visual layout of a site to writing the code that makes it run to ensuring that it's optimized for search engines and mobile devices. If you want to become a web developer, it's important to have a basic understanding of programming languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With back-end development, you can write website code, ensure site functionality, and optimize server operation. With front-end development, you can design page layouts, incorporate graphics, and improve script performance. Or you can even work with both as a Full Stack Developer!
