My guest today is Irina Iskrenova. Irina is a former psychologist turned front-end engineer. In this episode, Irina unpacks how she switched careers from psychology to development. The career transition was not a trivial decision for her, Irina didn't want to leave her career in psychology, she loved the field and still does. After taking some time off after her master's degree to give herself some time to think about what she wanted, she decided to give programming a try. For Irina, the process of learning to code was not only about gaining technical skills, but it was also a period of deep introspection and reflection. A period when she had to make peace with the fact that she was going to become a psychologist and reconcile not seeing the career change as a failure but instead as a positive direction that her life had taken.
