What kind of role?

I guess that's part of my question. Which roles would make the most sense coming from a risk background?

Also curious about this but from an associate/senior associate perspective

I think you could move into strategic or ops roles, but it would depend on what you're interested in

I’m seriously contemplating taking a software development boot camp. For those who hire new software developers, does it make you stand out if you get your certificate from a university instead of a coding academy (like coding dojo or something)? I noticed the universities are a bit more expensive but is it worth the price to have a university on your resume or does it not really matter?
