Last July, Victoria arrived in Barcelona awaiting a visa, a social circle, and a career opportunity in the tech industry. While working in Argentina as a hotel receptionist, she enrolled in an online bootcamp, and after learning to code she tried to transition into tech.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of the bootcamp being virtual and taking place in the middle of the pandemic, her teacher and classmates were all men. These factors made it even harder to socialise and enter the industry, but Victoria remained hopeful. She thought,<strong> \u201cjust because that\u2019s how it is doesn\u2019t mean that\u2019s how it should be,\u201d<\/strong> and she planned to spend her time in Barcelona, finding a more representative community to help get her into the career she wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That summer, Victoria began attending meetups for coders in Barcelona. At the beginning of her journey, she couldn\u2019t find her footing at coding events. As a bootcamp student and independent studier, events organised for coders with senior positions were too technical. Also, attendees would respond to her with a \u201cpity face\u201d when she explained to them that she was new to the industry. Still, she didn\u2019t lose faith. <strong>\u201cOne day I will understand [technical concepts], but if I give up, then I will never understand.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:34px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5410-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12369\" style=\"width:769px;height:513px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5410-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5410-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5410-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5410-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5410-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5410-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5410-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading o-typing-fast o-typing-delay-200ms\"><em>Getting involved with CodeWomen<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Victoria attended her first CodeWomen event in September after finding the organisation on Eventbrite. Instead of awkwardly introducing herself to a new group of professionals, Victoria received warm and welcoming reception from the CodeWomen members. Among a healthy mix of beginners and veteran developers, Victoria felt comfortable speaking up and asking for help. The best part about this group: <em>no pity faces.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the months following her first meeting, Victoria received in-person feedback on her work at CodeWomen\u2019s signature monthly event<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.es\/e\/new-codewomen-coding-with-coaches-monday-june-19-hosted-by-ideas4change-tickets-512987528507?aff=ebdsoporgprofile\"> Coding with Coaches<\/a>. She would study on her own and encounter problems, and then go to CodeWomen events to discuss her problem with an experienced developer. Victoria says this was extremely motivating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"o-typing-fast\"><o-anim-typing>It is great to study on your own, see what\u2019s not working, go to the CodeWomen event and have someone sit with you just out of commitment for helping other women to learn and get into coding.<\/o-anim-typing><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Finding the confidence to find the right job<\/em>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At a CodeWomen workshop dedicated to job searching and interview preparation, Victoria presented her skills and learned how to sell herself with the support of CodeWomen volunteers. <strong>\u201cIn general, it&#8217;s hard for women [to sell themselves]\u201d<\/strong> meaning that as women, we are more inclined to downplay our accomplishments compared to men. What helped Victoria feel comfortable and confident sharing her experience was the environment at CodeWomen. It was as if someone was saying, \u201chere we appreciate you.\u201d With a few tweaks to her CV and a few practice runs of job interviews organised by CodeWomen, Victoria received calls from companies looking to interview her. In March, she accepted a position as a junior back-end developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"928\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/untitled-33-2-928x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12371\" style=\"width:259px;height:286px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/untitled-33-2-928x1024.jpg 928w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/untitled-33-2-272x300.jpg 272w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/untitled-33-2-768x847.jpg 768w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/untitled-33-2-1393x1536.jpg 1393w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/untitled-33-2-1857x2048.jpg 1857w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/untitled-33-2-11x12.jpg 11w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/untitled-33-2-600x662.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5536-2-1024x533.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12372\" style=\"width:551px;height:287px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5536-2-1024x533.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5536-2-300x156.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5536-2-768x400.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5536-2-1536x800.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5536-2-18x9.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5536-2-600x313.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/occ.vsgconsulting.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_5536-2.jpeg 1847w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>What\u2019s next?&nbsp;<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One year since moving to Barcelona and 11 months since joining CodeWomen, Victoria knows for sure what her next step will be: helping to expand the CodeWomen community.
