Six years ago I transitioned careers at 30 to become a software developer. Since then, I’ve worked at 4 different companies and been promoted to senior developer. At each stage of my career I’ve had a not-so-small voice in the back of my head questioning whether I was really qualified to be in my current position. Was it luck? Did my presence help to fill some diversity quota? Did they make a terrible mistake by hiring me, I wondered.
If you’re claiming you’re a good communicator with no evidence to back it up, it’s simply a claim.

It was an easy assignment because I had everything on my laptop, and I was ready to submit it. Mind you, I was internship hunting at the time, so it wasn’t difficult to find a resume and a cover letter from my laptop.
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you share with us the backstory about what brought you to your specific career path? Growing up we moved homes often, which made it difficult to create and maintain friendships. This reality had both a positive and negative effect on me which gave me both strengths and opportunities to work on. In many ways I began to be more resilient at an early age.

JPMorgan Chase is ready to step forward now to problem solve that longstanding pain.
