Ela has changed her career!
In her own words:
“Almost 1 year ago I wrote an article about my journey into software engineering. I spent 9,5 years in recruitment (out of which 6 years at Microsoft as a Talent Sourcer). I’m a self-taught dev, but I wouldn’t be here without the support of many wonderful people. Hope it will be helpful for others thinking about a career change, it’s never too late to start following your dreams!”
