Are coding boot camps still worth it? | Rachel L'Abri Tipton - Full Stack Developer and Writer

Author: Elisabeth Mayr November 22, 2023 Duration: 52:05

Rachel is a Full Stack developer and Writer. She transitioned from being an English teacher to becoming a coder by joining a bootcamp.

In this episode we’re talking about if bootcamps are still worth it, what it’s like to be a woman in a predominantly male tech industry and the potential financial step backs to take - to plan long-term.

Rachel and I met while working as freelancers for Open Climate Fix, a company that helps the UK national grid make better use of solar energy through data-driven AI.

Elisabeth Mayr knows the freelance life isn't just about doing the work you love; it's about navigating the unpredictable terrain of running your own business. In The Freelance Blueprint, she draws from her own experience as a freelance UX designer to create a resource that feels more like a series of honest conversations than a rigid instruction manual. Each episode features discussions with fellow freelancers from a wide range of disciplines, digging into the real stories behind their successes and setbacks. You’ll hear practical advice on setting rates, managing difficult clients, and finding a sustainable workflow, but also candid talk about isolation, self-doubt, and the personal growth that comes with this career path. This podcast is built on the understanding that while freelancing can be solitary, you don't have to figure it all out by yourself. Whether you're just considering the leap or are a seasoned veteran looking to refine your approach, Elisabeth and her guests offer tangible insights and a sense of community, making the complexities of independent work feel a little more manageable and a lot less lonely. Tune in for a grounded perspective that focuses on building a freelance career that works for your life.
