How to shift your thinking beyond $200k

Eilidh Quinn: From Program Manager to Software Engineer

Eilidh Quinn shares her inspiring journey from nonprofit program management to software engineering, blending technical skill with a deep commitment to people-first design, inclusion, and thoughtful career pivots.

“Although I’m not coding on a daily basis, I’ve really enjoyed meeting developers and chatting with them. Having that technical background definitely helps me understand what developers and companies are after. I’ve also spent a lot of time giving people general advice on job searching and resume writing. They really appreciate that.”
