Welcome to Embers and Wind!

Guest Samantha Sanders shares a few of her steps toward finding the right fit in tech “Well, my dad was in DevOps, so I've been surrounded by tech pretty much all of my life. We always had the latest technology and just naturally kept up to date. But really, I didn't really know what I wanted to do when I grew up and spent a lot of time in the retail industry, job hopping a lot, especially as a military spouse, moving all the time. And then I got into project management and really kind of fell in love with all the processes and such. But it wasn't all that flexible as much as I had needed. So, I had pivoted to recruiting and I knew that tech was the future. And being surrounded by it my entire life, I could obviously see that and see it growing in front of me as I aged. And so I learned how to speak tech. I even took a Python programming language course, data analytics course, and just kind of fell in love with it. But that aspect wasn't really for me, so I decided to do recruiting for it instead.”
