So, what does a job in tech look like? It certainly is not only sitting behind a screen and coding! Last night I join WWCode (Edinburgh chapter) for a interesting evening finding out about alternative careers in tech. The fireside-style chat definitely highlighted the range of possibilities, with the speakers ranging from... 🖋 Technical authoring 📲 Product management 🤳 UI & UX Product designer 🎯 Talent acquisition & employee experience What was apparent is that many jobs in tech don't rely on a degree in software, data or cyber security. There are also... 🗣 Blah Blah jobs and 💻 Tick Tick jobs Who knew?! There was a definite experience of women being in the minority, but in general it was recognised that self belief was a key part to improving the overall wellbeing of women in the sector. Thanks to Stephanie Boyle for hosting and for Emily M., Suzy Sutherland, Amy Gallacher and Ellen Covey for your enthusiasm and honest discussions. #womenintech #careercoachingforwomen 🎯Working with aspiring female leaders in software, tech & data to stop feeling stuck and become confident members of the leadership landscape in a career they love.

Recently, you may have heard a lot about "no-code roles" in tech, especially here on #LinkedIn. It’s almost starting to feel like a buzzword. But let’s talk what it really means and why it’s more than just a trend. Simply put, no-code roles are jobs in tech that don’t require you to know how to code. Yep, no coding needed These roles are breaking down barriers, making tech more accessible for everyone, regardless of their background. Whether you're into design, project management, or even starting your own business, no-code tools can help you bring your ideas to life. In short, no-code roles are expanding what’s possible in tech, opening doors for anyone with a passion for creating. Curious to learn more?

🌟 How we turned ‘too nice’ into ‘truly kind’—and unlocked growth at Codewave 🚀 A few years ago at Codewave, we faced a unique challenge. As an organically grown company with lots of friends and referrals, we had a problem: Everyone was too nice to be honest. 🤝 What this looked like: - Friends couldn't give friends tough feedback - People stuck in same roles/capability levels for years - Performance issues buried under 'they're working long hours' - Org growth moving at a snail's pace 🐌 What we did? Teach friends that real friendship means caring enough to have tough conversations. What we learnt? - Separate friendship from professional feedback - Know the difference between 'nice' (avoiding truth) and 'kind' (speaking truth with care) ❤️ What we did: - Trained everyone on honest feedback (Check out Radical Candor by Kim Scott) - Made it okay to disagree in meetings - Started calling out problems early - Added this to new hire training Today at Codewave: - Friends help friends grow - Career progression is faster - Decisions are quicker - Org growth is better - Teams are actually happier High performance individuals are happier. 😊 Remember: Your real friends want you to grow. Sometimes that means having uncomfortable conversations. 👉 Have you ever faced the challenge of being 'too nice' at work?
