Rich Smith is a Senior UI engineer at Netflix but did you know this was his 17th job?
Today, he talks about how he started hustling as early as 4th grader and eventually discovered his interest in coding!
On the episode he covers a lot of topics as what it was like growing up with role models who were athletes, which a lot of us could relate with. And how not until he dropped out of college that Rich stumbled upon coding and later realized that this could be a viable career path!
Rich’s journey to become a Senior Engineer at Netflix was certainly not an easy feat, but he lays out the roadmap on this episode that anyone can follow to attain the same results.
Hint: it doesn’t involve a computer science degree :)
