Process Engineering -> Software Development

Today on Black Box, we chat with a fellow Stony Brook alumni Brian Clark about his career transition. Brian went to Stony Brook for Mechanical Engineering, but after graduating and working as a Process Engineer for some time the career trajectory didn't align with his long term goals. After some research and weighing of possibilities Brian decided to enter a Software Development Bootcamp, which is a program that lasts for ~3-4 Months and teaches you all the skills you will need to essentially become an effective Software Engineer. We discuss the struggles Brian went through leaving his job, lacking income while pursuing this certification and then finally interviewing and accepting a job offer @J.P. Morgan. Brian is a great example that you can always change your path to better align with your goals before its too late!
