If someone’s first impression of us is a negative one, that perception can be tough to shake.

'Imagine this: you’re outside the office on a glum Monday morning. You’re about to cross the threshold into another workweek when you’re greeted by a peculiar message underfoot, inviting you to check out employment opportunities elsewhere.

'I’m lukewarm on the idea of hiring computer science graduates. Same goes for MBAs. There’s something about those degrees that gives them selection bias for not having the motivation to learn a real world business domain. I get why some people like to study those fields though.

'I’ve seen it happen. Someone with no experience in software development becomes a capable and high-performing coder in one month. For that to happen a few things need to come together.
