How I switched from finance to programming and got a job at Dropbox

When I first started looking for a job, I thought that all I lacked was the number of questions, so I went crazy, hoping to make up for my lack of skills through the number of questions, but I always felt that I was missing a real breakthrough point. Although I have a basic knowledge of CS, I have never had any internship experience, and I have never really prepared for an interview. Initially I tried to brush up on my own questions and submit my resume, but the result was that my resume was brushed off in the first round, and I had very few chances to get an interview. I realized how difficult it was to find a job in the U.S., but I didn't want to go back to my home country, and my parents were pressuring me, so I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep the whole night. Finally, I turned to my senior, who recommended the Drill Insight program. At first, I was just trying it out, but I found that Drill Insight not only helped me improve my programming skills, but also helped me modify/optimize my resmue and mock, which provided me with...

I had no choice but to seek help on the network, after many contacts, I added a Drill Insight of a teacher, I know that the other party is an organization, but as long as he can convince me to spend money, so what?

Let me tell you how I got an offer from Goldman Sachs! I have a finance degree from Boston College and a master’s degree in computer science from Northwestern University. There is a big gap between me and students who studied computer science in undergrad. They gained a lot of project experience, but I had almost none. My boyfriend suggested I should do internships and work on projects to improve my background so I could get a job after graduation. Nowadays, most companies look for internship or project experience on resumes. At that time, I looked at many bootcamps but chose Drill Insight’s Trading Capturing System project for two main reasons. First, since I studied finance, I wanted to work for a fintech company, and Drill Insight’s project matched my career goals. Second, the project was created with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs is my dream company, so it caught my attention. The project involved building a stock trading system.
