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.

I wanted to start an Internet company, or join one, so building meant coding. I’ve always liked computers and on several occasions I had learned how to code a little bit and enjoyed it, but for different circumstances I never went deeper than a superficial introduction. Now, it was going to be different, I was going to go hard for it.

Born in the nineties, I have witnessed the evolution of technology. I am perfectly aware of the deep transformation companies are currently undergoing, through the diffusion and the development of the Web. And do you know what I notice? It is that everyone is saying that coding is tomorrow ‘s skill and that everyone should learn it, but the majority of people only have a vague idea of what code is. Even though, I was evolving around the Web and Technology, I didn’t fully grasp what it was. And the key to better understand the world we are living in is code.

Hackathons are long! You’ll want to use your brain to think about maximum productivity. I’ve found you can’t be productive if you’re not comfy. Plan for the fact that you’re going to be up all night. It’s going to be hard so you better feel good doing it.
