Appellate Law to Software Engineering | Josh Stillman

During an 8 year career practicing Law, Josh won multi-$MM victories for corporate clients and immigration relief pro bono. Josh holds a JD from New York University Law School, where he graduated in the top 10% of his class.
In the middle of his career in Law, Josh made a big change. He's now a Senior Software Engineer at a fast growing tech company where he leads teams and helps clients build better products and applications.
In this episode, Josh and I speak about recognizing what drives you and tapping into that passion. We also go in depth about HOW to bridge into tech, including why Josh enrolled in a coding boot camp from the Flatiron School. Anyone looking for practical advice on how to do more of what they love, and HOW to use their existing skills in a new context, will benefit from this episode.
