I’m currently a line cook, considering making the switch, but I’m a little confused about where to start. A local community college offers some certs that seem promising.
I have a little relevant background, a minor in comp sci, but that was some years ago (trying to relearn some of the material in my spare time now).
Damn. It’s crazy how much we are both headed down the same path. I’ve also recently taken a big chunk of time off and working to change careers. I’m just trying to make sure things are ready and I have something to fall back on.
I have a friend who is too nice a guy and gave 4 weeks’ notice because he genuinely didn’t want to leave his team in the lurch. He found out the next day (on a Weds) that Friday would be his last day. I want to be sure I don’t end up in the same way. They are heartless!
They really are. It’s awful being treated like a disposable piece that can be jettisoned without any further thought. That really sucks for your friend, I’ve been through that too. It was only a standard two week notice but it still was awful.
What career are you moving to if you don’t mind me asking? Feel free to DM if you’d rather keep it off the public but don’t mind otherwise.
