How to Build a Career in Tech: Cassidy Williams (@cassidoo) Connects the Dots

[@anthonyudeagbala8558]

- Write your ideas down. - Keep asking and shooting shots for opportunities. - Sell or showcase your self through projects and achievements - Practice build projects. Thanks for the lessons Cassidy

[@fourlokouva]

This was very informative and eye opening to me. When Cassidy said that "selling yourself is terrifying", I remembered a saying: "Feel the fear, and do it anyway". This was a great reminder to do that every single day. ~Thank You

Go against the grain.

What a good video before i sleep. This make my sleep more good, thank you.

[@jesselima_dev]

Awsome talking!!! You folks have brought many great questions and ideas. I change my schedule to wake up earlier for study. At the end of the day, I do not use to be great for learning.

Great video congratulations

[@Ankitkumar-bn2bs]

Ever thought of hosting this as podcast on Spotify??? It would be amazing

[@pkn8707]

Thanks to Freecodecamp for another relevant chit chat which would surely help people especially in search of jobs in this pandemic. And I have to say it, @Cassidy you are so cute i couldn't take my eyes off of you. As Jason said you really have a unique presence and a personality. Keep motivating people.

[@TesterAnimal1]

Be prepared to dump all your knowledge and learn something completely new abut 4 times during your career. Enjoy.

Cassidy, that's a great story about your father-in-law. He's the first fifty-something junior developer I've heard about. Am I right to assume he was hired as a junior? Cheers!

It is so regretful that American style networking is practically nonexistent outside of the USA. People would still have LinkedIn, don't get me wrong, but are culturally far less approachable, society is more closed so to speak. People would not write thank you letters and follow up letters, informational interviews hardly exist too etc. It the US you can have a small talk at a conference with another participant who happens to be a senior manager or a partner at some big firm and they would ask you for your resume afterwards. Just like that. Like it is not a big deal. Something like this would never happen in Germany, as instance. Or in Canada. People would not even add you to linkedin in the majority of instances or reply to an email. May be it is a bit different in IT. I will soon find that out.

Thanks alot cassidy thanks for your kind heart.kindly drop me your email.

Sure go ahead and build a career...don't forget you would hit 40 at some point and would then be overlooked in most places. :D

Unless you're hot, sadly true!

[@lordx4641]

@@swallowedinthesea11 what does this mean

[@swallowedinthesea11]

@@lordx4641 When you hit 40, most companies will not hire you. They'll likely hire the twenty somethings because the higher ups know that young people will be less to make excuses of why they couldn't meet the deadlines and work their asses off and obey no questions asked. Otherwise, management can easily hire someone else who's dying for that position. Ageism is scary when we reach that phase.
