Millions of people around the world are switching careers to tech. But you know what I realized? Many of them are not just chasing better salaries or remote work opportunities.

They want to make a difference.

The pandemic has given many people time to think about what matters to them. And increasingly, that's having a positive impact on the world.

That's why I'm excited about companies like Impact.tech. They're building a community and platform to help people transition into impactful tech careers.

The Challenge

The challenge many people face when trying to break into tech is knowing where to start. There are so many different paths, skills to learn, and companies to consider.

And if you specifically want to work for companies that are making a positive impact, that adds another layer of complexity. How do you identify these companies? How do you know if they're actually walking the walk, or just talking the talk?
