I am looking to do so. I used to be a software dev for a small startup (very small) for 2 years out of college, so my dev work experience wouldn’t really translate to working at google. I’ve also spend the last 3 years not doing any real programming aside from the occasional script. I have no idea how to get back into software dev, considering no big-time software dev jobs hired me back in the day

I’m a newer registered nurse (2 years) and want to get into remote work.

For these remote companies where I don’t have connections how can I transition over?
