I was interviewed by [Chris Bongers](https://twitter.com/DailyDevTips1) on [Daily Dev Tips](https://daily-dev-tips.com/posts/interview-with-shawn-swyx-wang-from-finance-to-tech/), here are some extracts.

> **What tips would you give someone interested to switch to tech?** 

  - It takes time, but it's a long term investment. The tech industry is one of those industries where we will always have a job. 
  - You must never stop learning and improving yourself. The tech industry shifts rapidly so you need to keep up with the latest technology.
  - Market yourself in every possible way. Start writing, live streaming, being an active contributor, and promote yourself. 

> **You're a big advocate for writing in public. Why is that?**

  - It makes you understand the subject better.
  - It's a way of organizing learning while people also point out your mistakes.
  - When you are writing in public, keep your ego small. If you are genuinely learning, people will want to help and then follow your journey.
