What’s the longest time you’ve waited to hear back after conducting your final loop interviews for FAANG Companies??? I finished mine last Thursday & they told me I will get my decision between 9/6 - 9/9.
I feel like this wait is torture!!!!!! I’m also a CW so hoping I get this role so I get converted over to an FTE.

Try an Ed tech company. The SME in teaching would be very helpful to e-learning specifically
Tech is such a huge field. I’d say research different tech roles and find which one seems the most interesting. For example, engineering, security, design, etc. Then, take a deep dive into whichever role most excites you. Watch youtube videos, follow people in that area, read articles about it.
I’d even go as far as studying for a certification for the area you’re deciding to go into. I’m a security guy by trade, and studying for the CompTIA Sec+ certification helped me with my case interviews. Definitely had a lot of stories to tell from studying and it made me stand out against other candidates. Recruiters and HM’s like to see stuff like that. Just my 2 cents
He’s interested in project management type rolls. He also has some technical knowledge due to his completion of a Bootcamp a couple of years back.
It's totally doable, but I'd first focus on the area in tech you're most interested in. It's such a broad field, it would be difficult to give one-size-fits-all advice as to how to get your foot in the door without knowing what direction you're thinking of heading.
I left teaching a few years ago and went to work at an ed tech company. I’ve found that a lot of ed tech companies love hiring former teachers, and it’s a great way to get exposure to how software companies work. After a few years in that job, I switched to doing a similar role at a company that has nothing to do with education.
What kind of role is your friend interested in? I’ve seen a lot of former teachers start with a role in software training or instructional design. Sales seemed pretty popular as well, especially if they are selling to schools or teachers. I personally was a math teacher with an interest in data, so my first role after teaching was integrating student data into the education software.
He’s interested in project management roles. He’s open to other roles just to break in the door, but would eventually like to become a technical PM. He took a Bootcamp a couple of years ago and really enjoyed coding. He’s taught several computer science classes at his school. I’ll inform him to look into software training.
I taught for four years and switched to Tech in a software trainer role and then moved into different positions from there!
Mine was a midsize, established software company - startups will likely be more difficult.
A training role seems like it might be reasonable, that or something in the ed tech industry. How much tech knowledge do you have? Coursera is a good place to start.
Thank you! He’s completed a 24 week Bootcamp a couple of years ago so he’s familiar with the coding languages. He’s also taught computer science at his previous school
my team has hired good developers who transitioned from other specialities. online courses/ boot camps are often very effective. if your friend doesn’t want to be an engineer maybe consider product management. you get really involved with building the tech but through requirements gathering and documentation.
How about looking at sites like Udemy and Skillshare?
