Don’t be afraid to try several different roles in tech and then decide which suits you best.
Often times, perception from the outside in is different to reality in this industry, but the great thing is that it’s perfectly fine to take the time and find your best role.

You may be stepping out of your comfort zone to get into tech - stay out of your comfort zone.
Don’t be afraid of technology, for the first few months I was scared to ask the wrong questions or code in Python, it may seem overwhelming but that is normal.

IT is a profession and yet most practitioners have no formal professional qualifications. We don’t accept that for doctors or even accountants and the BCS is devoted to addressing it in IT.
Personal motto:
Do well. Do good.

BCS membership has given me access to a network of incredible people. I’ve met some people who are hugely influential in changing our futures, especially within BCSWomen.
