We're really excited to share this story - this week we got to talk to Abe Ratnofsky, our first computer science student! He had a really interesting year that took him from one startup to another in San Francisco, where he is still working.
Notes
0:21 - Exposure to computer science in high school and not being so into it, but then coming back towards it through first year
2:26 - Co-op terms prior to PEY, working on transit in Los Angeles and on derivatives trading in New York
4:05 - Making the decision to do PEY, going to company info sessions to find something
11:36 - Gaining confidence in technical skills, finding "the dream job" at a drone inspection company through Hacker News
16:06 - Interviewing for a job at a 3 person company
19:34 - Moving to San Francisco and getting settled in
24:40 - Leaving the dream job after just 3 months
29:00 - Setting a deadline to find a new job or going back to school
31:35 - Swiftly, where he currently works as a full-time software engineer
45:01 - Seeing a young company grow up in front of you, watching bureaucracy develop in real time
52:30 - The decision to continue working instead of coming back to school, education being "preemptible"
Music by Shawn Lee
