- you dont have to be a software engineer to work in tech, roles like sales engineering or solutions consulting can be a better fit
- if you struggle to break into coding fast, look at pre-sales or solutions engineering as a lane that still pays well
- ai tools can handle the administrative grind in job searching like tailoring resumes and tracking applications so you can focus on interviews
- when building new tools expect bugs and user confusion, build simple workarounds like templates while you fix the bigger issues
- post content consistently without chasing likes, value compounds over time just like results from consistent gym work
