What impact has EDA had on you?
EDA has taught me not just the skills I need to be a software developer, but to be a professional, to work in a team, and to have an impact in what I am contributing.
What has been the biggest lesson you have learned?
You are not losing anything by asking a question when you do not know. People are willing to help you, but they can’t read your mind.
What is your favorite memory from EDA?
Every Friday morning when we share our life stories.
If you were to give advice to someone considering applying to EDA, what would you say?
It is not just about learning how to code, you are preparing for your future career in many aspects.
What advice do you have for the next cohort?
It is ok to feel like you do not belong there. I believe in you, you will thank yourself for not giving up. You will be surprised what you are capable of when you dedicate yourself to learning.
Interested in applying? Apply now or contact us for more information! The deadline to apply for the next cohort is June 24, 2024.
