One thing I love about careers in tech and maybe specifically software engineering is that it’s one of the rare career paths where self-teaching is a genuine way to build a valuable career on the back of grit and determination.
It is now estimated that about 70% of software engineers in the industry have a full or partially self-taught background, and with average salaries in the US being among the highest for engineers and developers in the tech industry, it’s an accessible career with the right help.
