The Whiskey Web and Whatnot podcast welcomes Shaundai Person, a senior software engineer at Netflix, to discuss her impressive career transition from sales to software engineering.
Aside from some light-hearted banter about whiskey, pants confusion with her tall six-year-old son, love for rap, and previous experience with older technology, Shaundai shares how she leverages her transferable skillset, specifically soft skills she developed in sales, to excel in the tech industry. Shaundai emphasizes the importance of self-promotion to stand out and offers advice to other people transitioning into tech. She also touches on her upcoming TypeScript course and her strategic collaboration with Egghead.
