This journey highlights how transferable skills from diverse fields like English literature can lead to success in tech, showcasing the importance of adaptability and self-learning in today's job market.
Switching gears in my academic focus was a daunting choice, but data science appealed to me as it maintains the analytical thinking I loved in literature. I started self-studying through resources like Coursera and MIT OpenCourseWare.
I realized I had to take initiative. Directly reaching out to startup CEOs helped me to articulate my unique skillset, which combined my background in English with newfound tech abilities.
Data science mirrors literary analysis; by connecting disparate data points, similarities emerge. Both require synthesizing information and discerning relationships, making my transition from English literature to tech quite seamless.
