BUSINESS INQUIRIES

Thanks for stopping by! Wanted to share that deadlines are coming up for Google, Pinterest and Microsoft apprenticeship programs. This is a great way to break into tech, you get paid to learn on the job. Check out the links below!

I've never heard someone explain the importance of prestige so well!!!

[stephybear]

I appreciate your honesty about Black Women working in bigger vs smaller tech companies and not sugar coating it. Toxic work environments/microaggressions can impact us so badly, it's the main reason why I'm looking for remote work now! I am happy to see a fellow African (1st gen Ghanaian-American here) achieve success in a healthy work environment <3

Bukola Am a Ugandan living in NY I watched your video about getting into tech with no CS degree. I followed your advice and self studied am now a Data Analyst. Thank you.

Tech companies give workers opportunities to learn to code. That's what I love about this industry. Doesn't matter whether you have a CS degree or not. As long as you have potential you can make it.

Love your videos and how you share your experiences ❤️!

[SkyStepDrones]

Congrats on all your success! My sister works for Google in San Francisco and she really loves it! I'm so proud to see sisters breaking the glass ceiling and doing big things. Keep up the great work and you have a new sub now.

Regarding your controversial topic, I feel the same. I've worked in smaller companyies where I was THE ONLY Hispanic in the company and it was uncomfortable (on one, the narrative was that they want to recruit for diversity but there was a supply issue and I was dying inside). Now in a much bigger company with over 6k employees I have found other POC in my immediate team and certainly outside plus a supportive ERG. I feel like I'm in a better position to succeed as a POC here than I ever was before. It also helps to be mostly remote.

I love your content! You inspired me to move into tech/UX design. I’m glad you love working at Google and as POC it’s inspiring to see you flourish 😊

[kylacruz]

This is a proof why we stay in a company because of culture. Thanks Bukola for another organized and informative video!

[gmuyccg]

Thanks for these videos Bukola! This is really good to know about FAANG/big tech companies. I was a political science major in college too so it's super inspiring to see you thriving in tech. I'm currently in a bootcamp and it's been tough to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I know it's possible for me too. Your videos help a lot.

Finally to hear from you again. Hope work is treating you good. Thanks for sharing your life blog with us . Can’t stop watching

[creatoratplay]

Your videos are so helpful! Thanks for sharing!

[mizsandra]

I'm an Aspiring Front end Developer. I graduated with a degree in communications and have no prior knowledge in tech. It's been really challenging for me but I'm determined to keep going even though it sometimes seems like I've really gone nowhere, buh I know I'm not where I used to be when I knew virtually nothing about programming. I hope to be like you someday

[ttmoore]

Thanks for the heads up, I've missed most of the deadlines within the U.K. but I'm actually going to be working towards the following deadlines within the next 6 months and more. Thank you for this breakdown as I'm finding it hard to transfer from the university student and independent work to the whole 9-to-5 life. I want financial freedom so bad but don't want to lose my freedom.

[ray.gene.bowner]

Nice deadlift form👌. Im actually watching this between my deadlift sets

[gbengaadewusi]

[tiffanyjae]

Thank you. I’ve been looking into googles certifications but I didn’t know they had apprenticeships. You’re a blessing. Now I need to run and apply before the deadline 🥵🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️💨
