What People Are Saying
“
My expectations were certainly exceeded and I got a lot out of this summit. I now know which jobs I want to apply to, have a better understanding of the transferrable skills I have, and have a much higher confidence level. This weekend solidified that my inner inkling to leave banking for tech was the right feeling to follow.
“
It was awesome and was definitely worth my time! This summit provided a much faster way to learn a lot of curated information than typical networking.
“
Loved hearing about the actual roles, projects, and day to day of the mentors. I am very new to my "break into tech" journey and honestly wasn't even sure before this summit if it was for me. Those panelists really helped solidify that I have the desire and the skillset to make a huge leap in my career from my 9-year stint in banking.
“
I have tangible next steps and resources, and I feel like my time in each session was well spent. It was awesome and was definitely worth my time!
