A good friend of mine, Lee Ngo, hosts the Educative podcast, which is a great source of inspiration for people starting or growing their careers in software development.
He recently invited me on to chat about my unusual career path.
Here's a (very) brief summary of my journey:
I fell in love with computer programming in college. But, after working at a large corporation for a number of years, I found that I'd lost my passion and questioned whether it was really what I wanted to be doing.
I ended up leaving the company and joining a venture capital firm, where I focused on working with portfolio companies on recruiting and HR instead of software development.
Eventually, I realized that, yes, I did, in fact, love software development and made another career shift back into it.
Here's the conversation (~15 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK5qycRgf1Q
