Meet Paul Lee.
In September 2020 Paul decided to learn to code and stumbled upon Scrimba. Just 7 months later he got an entry-level job in Tokyo 🎉
In this interview, I spoke to Paul about:
- Anxieties and doubt learning to code
- How Paul learned to trust the process and all of a sudden had 2 job offers
- How developer jobs work in Japan (I learned two-day internships are common)
- At Scrimba we claim "Our career path helps motivated students become hireable frontend developers for 1% of the cost" I asked Paul if we're telling the truth 😬
