As the Director of the Grace Hopper Program at Fullstack Academy, one of the most common questions Michele Cantos receives is "am I too old to join a coding bootcamp?" - the answer is no! For women over 30, the idea of successfully completing a bootcamp and starting a completely new career as a software engineer can be terrifying. Not to mention the agism and lack of diversity in engineering many face when job searching. Michele is joining us to combat some of these stigmas, and share real testimonials of bootcamp grads who've been there and the strategies you can use to be successful mid-career!
