In this panel discussion, we\u2019ll discuss three popular paths into the tech industry, and WordPress in particular: bootcamp, freelance, and traditional degree.<\/p>\n
Together, we\u2019ll answer questions and share insight on how we decided on our respective paths into tech, the job hunting process, and what it\u2019s actually like on the inside.<\/p>\n
