We're taking a detour from our normal accounting content to bring you an incredible story from a software engineer who found fulfillment in his career.

Listen in as Jay shares:

How he discovered his passion for computers at 16 years old, and built a career out of it without ever getting a degree

The unfair scrutiny he faced as a young developer in his field, and how this affected the way he was viewed by employers and team members

His pursuit of proving his potential, and how he landed his dream job and fulfilled a lifelong career goal

The full-circle moment when he realized the real-world impact of his work

You might not expect a heartfelt story on an accounting podcast - but trust us when we say you'll want to listen all the way through on this one.
