Thank you to Treehouse for sponsoring us this month!
We talk a lot about launching a new career and improving your financial future here at Novum Opus. One of the best ways to do this in the modern job market, as I can personally attest, is to acquire the skills you need to become a software developer. There are several reasons for this:
Software developers are paid exceedingly well.
There are a ton of software jobs on the market right now, more than there are developers. With the right skills and enough commitment, you can likely get a job in the field.
Software jobs typically offer significant perks due to the nature of the work, such as the option to work 100% remote.
Software jobs often require on-the-job training, and are therefore supportive of ongoing learning and career development. The three jobs I’ve held at software companies felt nothing like the dead-end jobs I had when I was younger.
The problem? You have to get the qualifications first and may not want to try and negotiate a refund if the coding bootcamp you choose is not the right fit.
Fortunately, there’s a solution: Treehouse. Treehouse is a software development learning platform that offers something unique: you can take introductory courses to see if software development is right for you, and they offer more intensive bootcamp programs that can qualify you for a career in the industry. Many platforms only offer one or the other.
And the best part? Right now, Treehouse is offering 4 months off of their basic program so you can try software development before you make a huge commitment with your time and money. Try it out at this link risk-free to see if a software development career is right for you!
