Alon
The road to reach our goals often shifts. We find ourselves detouring, changing lanes and U-turning…all to find ourselves exactly where we were meant to be.
Great job keeping the pedal to the metal and staying the course, Alon!🏎🏁
Gabriel
Meet Gabriel Pedroza 🇺🇸
Gabriel is a Scrimba student who has just landed his first internship. And the internship is at Meta (formerly known as Facebook)!
After finishing Scrimba's Frontend Career Path, Gabriel studied computer science at a university, so if you were wondering about the main differences between Scrimba and university, he's the right person to talk to!
You'll also hear how he approached learning, how he's already been teaching others how to code, and what did it take for him to get an internship at Meta. More importantly, Gabriel will teach you how to follow your interests and passion, why you shouldn't be afraid of AI, and how to maximize your chances when applying for jobs!

Success is always a process. It takes time, dedication, and confidence to become resilient despite the urge to give up. A song once said, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”, like you did Paul. Cheers!🥂

Jimmy
Meet Jimmy Johnston 🇺🇸
Jimmy is a sous-chef turned developer who's just landed his first developer job after working in the culinary industry for twenty years! The career change took Jimmy eleven months. It also involved going through burnout, figuring out his "why," as well as hitting a dead-end with job applications and changing the strategy from the ground up! In this interview, Jimmy will let you in on all of these things so that you can learn from his experience.
You'll find out the similarities between cooking and computing, how Jimmy learned to code, and why you shouldn't try to learn too many technologies at once. Jimmy also talks you through his interview process so that you can figure out at what point you are ready to apply for a similar position.

Shaun
Meet Shaun Jackie Hickman 🇬🇧
Shaun is a new developer who has recently landed his first dev job after meeting his now boss at a LAN party, playing Call of Duty! Earlier, Shaun wanted to become an English teacher but ended up studying social sciences and graduating in business.
Eventually, Shaun realized there was another language he was interested in - and that language was JavaScript. Within a year of dedicated studying, he changed careers. In this episode, Shaun shares how he learned to code while working a full-time job and why it's important to take breaks and have hobbies other than coding.
He reveals why long interview processes are not necessarily a bad thing and talks about the philosophy of AI and the ethics of using ChatGPT. Plus: Shaun and Alex delve into the power of determination and maintaining the right mindset.
