In this episode, Raquel shares with us how the lack of stability in her teaching job made her do some soul searching which eventually led to a career change. Her move into tech all started off by chance when she randomly attended a codebar workshop she saw advertised on Facebook.

Her life completely changed when she signed up for a free 3-month course in data analysis at the Barcelona Activa IT academy. In the episode she tells us how intimidated and out of water, she felt the first week of the course and how she even considered quitting. But she persisted and landed a job immediately after completing the course.

She reveals that often times the most challenging part about making a career transition is overcoming the negative beliefs you have about yourself. Raquel shares with us what she did to manage imposter syndrome and how she finally realized that it was not productive to measure your progress by comparing yourself to others. She teaches us that the only person you should try to be better than is who YOU WERE YESTERDAY.  This interview is filled with great advice and wisdom. Raquel's zest for learning, travel, and life will captivate you.
