While pursuing Computer Science as my undergraduate degree, I discovered the sheer joy of writing code. Realizing the amazing things I could build, the challenging business problems I would solve using technology, pursing software engineering became an obvious career choice.
After working in the IT industry I learned a few things - like all professions, there are pros and cons to this profession as well, and I wish I had known about these before I became a software engineer. So if you're thinking of pursuing a career in software engineering, join me for this chat!

- You'll be able to make an informed decision if you should be pursuing software engineering.
