Up skilling
Finding a technical job in tech with non-STEM degrees
My life journey has brought me from being a postdoctoral researcher in linguistics at the University of Cambridge to landing a job in tech as a NLP engineer. Between the two, I made a huge effort to figure out which technical skills I was lacking and therefore needed to learn, and then to actually retrain.
This guide is meant to make your life easier with a few tips and resources that should hopefully help you make an informed decision on how to retrain.
Happy learning!
