Anybody here on the creative side at Chicago's Cinespace? I'd love to chat (DM or in person), about jobs at Cinespace. Want to find out how my experience as an advertising Creative Director/copywriter/game writer might translate to a role there.

I am currently a civil engineer thinking of switching to software engineering. I got my masters in water resource engineering where I was coding a decent amount for assignments and it has really stuck with me. Unfortunately, in my current role and field (civil), I don’t really get to do much coding. Does anyone have a similar experience of jumping ship to do software engineering? What would be the best way to go about it (coding bootcamp, another degree, something else)?
