It truly has been a helluva of ride! The late nights were entirely worth it. My scrum meetings were 8pm. I’d get home just about that time or even later but nonetheless I was able to catch up. Through the process , I’ve realized that other than BA, product design is a hidden skill that I can and will be fine tuning. The first time I saw Figma, I’m like what kind of problem is this? But team members and I, we eventually made sense of it. Created a prototype even created a chat bot, I didn’t think I could do it. What’s even better is, not a single line of code was written.
The sacrifice and inconvenience of working and running this intense course through the past 7 weeks has been worth it. I’m definitely not where I was when we started, my mind is bigger, my understanding is broader and I know that I can do this. I’ve always wanted a remote job paying in $ and this step is one in the right direction. The confidence and understanding I’ve gained on the course is ridiculous, I’m not there yet, but I know I can get there and in time my learning will go past what I’ve learned at H&T, everything has been an eye opener, even to LinkedIn optimization, I can see all the ways my previous approaches/efforts were less than par. The course has given me a solid start point in my BA journey. I now understand why we’re encouraged to look beyond the certificate for now, the hands on learning experience that Heels and Tech offers is unmatched. I’m glad I took the course and by God’s grace, I’ll be back soon to tell you that I’ve gotten my dollar paying remote job. Special mention to Petrina who is such an awesome facilitator, I’ll be disturbing her from time to time 😁. It’s also great that Iyanu and Bisola were present in some of sessions. It showed that you were concerned about our learning process as well. It’s been a tough but rewarding experience.
