Three years ago, I was at my first corporate job, feeling stuck and wondering if this was all there was. Sound familiar?
I remember staring at my laptop one evening, bouncing my infant on my hip, thinking "There has to be a better way to do this whole career thing." I was tired of feeling behind, tired of comparing myself to 22-year-olds coding since they were 12, and honestly? Tired of feeling like I'd missed my window.
But here's what I learned: Your twenties aren't your only shot at reinvention.
The path I took wasn't the traditional "quit everything and code for 12 hours a day" route (because, hello, real life). Instead, I created a sustainable approach that honored where I was—busy, overwhelmed, but ready for something different.
Today, I'm a developer at an amazing startup, and more importantly, I wake up excited about my work instead of dreading Monday mornings.
