    • How to structure your job search once you're on your own
    • Whether you should accept an apprenticeship/internship
    • If factors like education background and age impact salary after a bootcamp
    • Jeff & Rebekah's feelings on networking and meetups

Lauren Stewart

  • Lauren loved interviewing Ed Jasper of Flatiron School. Ed graduated from Flatiron School 4 years ago and tells us about his career journey including his background as a personal trainer, his full scholarship at Flatiron School, and finding developer roles in fashion tech. He also shares his experience as a person of color and a person within the LGBTQ community and how that has impacted his life in tech. He’s now a Front End Developer at Rent the Runway!
