Should I change my career to coding? Risk, travelling and coding - Before Our Friends Die #14

1 hour 34 minutes | Saturday, 1 October 2022

This week, at the start of Black History Month 2022 in the UK, we are joined by Sheban - a fantastic friend of the show who has been on somewhat of a journey!
If you're thinking of changing your career, or taking a leap into studying abroad, this podcast will give you the inspiration you need to make it happen.
In talking with us, Sheban shares some of the confidence challenges she faced visiting Hong Kong, China, Brazil and more.
She takes us through the trials of navigating the job market and needing that pesky "experience" while studying at univerisity!!
COVID being a growth period for her, where she was forced to think about what matters and what she wants.
Having insomnia led to her teaching herself how to code. Then came the school of code...
Listen to this podcast to learn more about the school of code and visit: https://www.schoolofcode.co.uk/  
Sheban also recommends three books:
Learn Python the Hard Way by Zed Shaw
Automate the Boring Stuff by Al Sweigart
Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes
*PLEASE NOTE* Unfortunately, we had a few technical problems with Kahvan's sound during this episode but it is certainly still a great episode so please stick with it!
