From Bootcamp to Senior Developer: Sarah's Journey

The Beginning

Three years ago, I was working in marketing at a small agency, feeling unfulfilled and looking for a change. I had always been interested in technology, but I never thought I could make a career out of it. That all changed when I discovered coding bootcamps and decided to take the leap.

The Challenge

Learning to code was one of the most challenging things I've ever done. The imposter syndrome was real, and there were many times I wanted to give up. But the Thrico community became my lifeline. The support, encouragement, and practical advice from other members kept me going.

"The community here isn't just about networking - it's about genuine human connections that help you grow both personally and professionally."

The Breakthrough

After 6 months of intensive learning and building projects, I landed my first junior developer role. But that was just the beginning. With continued mentorship from senior developers in the community, I was able to accelerate my learning and take on more complex projects.

Paying It Forward

Now, as a senior developer, I spend time mentoring newcomers in the community. It's incredible to see how a supportive environment can transform careers and lives. If you're just starting out, remember that everyone was a beginner once, and the community is here to help you succeed.

The journey from marketing to senior developer wasn't easy, but it was worth every challenge. The Thrico community made it possible, and I'm grateful to be part of this amazing network of professionals who support each other's growth.
