After months of doing coding tutorials online, Edward finally took a leap of faith and did a "coding bootcamp". 

If that wasn't radical enough, when it came to applying for jobs, Edward took the ultimate leap of faith: he applied for a Senior position (which he wasn't qualified for) in a technology he wasn't familiar with at his dream company (Untappd - a tech startup that's all about beer - another one of Edward's passions).

After several grueling rounds of interviews (and teaching himself a new programming language along the way), Edward landed his first Software Engineering job at Untappd.

Several years (and raises) later, Edward is still helping the beer community "drink socially" at Untapped. Listen to this week's episode to hear about how Edward navigated the unknown of landing his ideal job.
