textbook-curriculum VS bioinformatics

Initiatives like Girls Who Code and Ada Developers Academy are working to change this and are dedicated to making tech more representative of society at large. But, it's an ongoing battle, as women still only hold 1/4 of tech-related jobs.

Also checkout https://adadevelopersacademy.org/ ada developers academy. They target women and gender expansive adults. There are corporate programs such as at Oracle where they will only consider ada graduates. I can't speak to the quality of the program or outcomes, but I would have definitely looked into it if it was an option for me. Entry level roles are tough, and anything like this program to give you a leg up doesn't hurt.

I can recommend: Ada Academy. Hard to get into and not in all cities.

Ada Developers Academy. It’s a free, full time, year-long program that includes a 5 month paid internship. It is only for women and gender diverse people though.

Check out https://adadevelopersacademy.org/ for a free coding school + internship. I went there and have had a successful career so far w/ initial salary 150k in Seattle (my cohort had starting salaries between 100k and 175k). I was promoted after a few years now at ~250k, however I’m looking to switch companies for better work life balance in the next year or so and will prob take a pay cut. Tech is going through a rocky period and some companies are laying off folks and hiring freezes. I’m also finishing up BSCS degree from WGU, which is another route to consider r/wgu_CompSci

Ada Academy might be an option for you. This is a well respected institution in the industry with direct lines into FAANG. https://adadevelopersacademy.org/

A few, ADA Development Academy is one of them.

hope this helps ✌🏾

OSSU — Path to a free self-taught education in Bioinformatics

OSSU study plan for example https://github.com/ossu/bioinformatics

In trying to merge the skills I have, I'm currently making my way through OSSU/bioinformatics, which seems like a pretty solid self-teaching guide.

If you are looking for an online post bacc to get into bioinformatics, then CU Boulder would probably be a better fit for you, or some kind of data science bootcamp. If you've already got the math and science down, then you don't really need an academic degree, you just need to learn how to code. You can also check out OSSU here: https://github.com/ossu/bioinformatics

Looks good enough at a glance, but this https://github.com/ossu/bioinformatics is more complete and probably better
