Pairin tells me that I'm an 'intuitive-conceptual' thinker, that I'm a 'maverick' with an 'I get you' attitude that 'loves wisdom and knowledge'. I think it can be bizarre letting a website tell me who I am, but I can see how it helps to have a diving board, so I'll bite.

Currently that means that I'm flexing my 'lover of wisdom and knowledge' muscle. In 10, shockingly short, weeks I have done things, technically, that I had no idea were even concepts. Socially, I'm a lot less awkward and afraid of not knowing something.

Writing a third act at this point in time would be an excercise in futility. I have no idea what I'm even looking for right now, I'm not going to attempt to gaze into a crystal ball.

I came to Turing because I felt that I had ticked most of the boxes that I needed to in my previous career, and I wanted to invest my time into something else that I have been passionate about for awhile. It wasn't a hard leap for me. I love change and the thought of never having to go back to where I was before AND get to do all of this? That's the stuff of dreams.

Remember that this the core of how you are going to answer the question 'tell me about yourself'. I feel like only the last section really speaks to that. Do the Parin qualities resonate with you? Can you see them manifest in your approach to things so far? I'd like to hear more about your previous career, and how you knew you were ready for the next thing. How did you discover/get interested in programming? I know talking about where you're going next is tricky at this stage, but even some ideas about what you enjoy right now that you'd like to continue doing would be a good thing to include/think about.
