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.

When you're getting into the web and digital design field, it's important to have a grasp of the best tools out in the market. And that world is evolving constantly, giving designers the chance to work with a huge array of tools that allow them to deliver fantastic work.

Over the years, women have been encouraged to pursue technology. But today, there’s still a wide gap between men and women in tech. Even though women make up about 47% of the U.S workforce, only 26.7% have jobs in the tech industry. According to Fortune, women run 8.8% of businesses on the Fortune 500 list in 2022.

Strong women in the tech world are powerful role models for young women entering the industry. However, most tech companies are still founded and led by men, with, at present, only about 5% of CEO positions being filled by women. Women are, however, blazing a trail with each year seeing an increasing number of female-founded tech startups. These success stories are fuelled by innovative ideas and market knowledge backed up with patience, diligence, inspiration, and a good grounding in the tech industry (such as provided by Ironhack courses). Hopefully, before long, women at the top of tech industries won't be newsworthy novelties.

Did you know that with +1.5% of growth per year, Bordeaux is one of the most attractive cities in France? Bordeaux has many assets including its incredible architecture (classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site); its ease of travel by bicycle or public transport; its privileged geographical location (proximity of the ocean); its dynamic student life and its wonderful heritage (world capital of wine!). Plus, the actual living cost is lower than in Paris, so you literally and figuratively get more out of life if you decide to settle down here!
