<p>Saron chats with Laura Thorson, Program Manager at GitHub. Laura talks about how she was always interested in singing, dancing and music growing up which led her to UCLA on a scholarship to play the oboe. She tells us about her experience at UCLA and her decision to go to a coding bootcamp after graduation as opposed to searching for a job with her English Lit degree. Laura then describes the jobs she landed after bootcamp at Salesforce, Twitter, Meta and now GitHub and how LinkedIn played a huge role in helping her land these opportunities.</p> <h4>Show Links</h4> <ul><li><a href="https://link.chtbl.com/codecomments?sid=podcast.codenewbie">Code Comments</a> (sponsor) </li> <li><a href="https://irlpodcast.org/">IRL</a> (sponsor) </li> <li><a href="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/stk/">STK</a></li> <li><a href="https://advertising.amazon.com/library/guides/what-is-adtech">AdTech</a></li> <li><a href="http://github.com/shmeadyy">Laura's GitHub</a></li> <li><a href="http://twitter.com/shmeadyy">Laura's Twitter</a></li> </ul><h4>Laura Thorson</h4><p>Laura Thorson is a program manager, former engineer and design enthusiast who loves developing technical programs and scaling them for optimal impact.
