Breaking Into Tech Without a CS Degree: Kaie x From Campus to Corporate

​No comp sci degree? No bootcamp badge? No problem.

​Tech is way bigger than code. And the doors are wider than you think—if you know how to position yourself.

​This session is for the career switchers, late bloomers, self-taught builders, and anyone who feels like an outsider. You’ll hear from recruiters and real candidates who got in without the pedigree—and learn how they did it.

​We’ll talk imposter syndrome, title inflation, storytelling tactics, and what hiring managers actually want (hint: it’s not always a GitHub repo).

​If you’ve got hustle and heart, we’ll show you how to turn that into hireable.

​What You’ll Learn

• ​How people break into tech roles without traditional credentials

• ​What recruiters actually care about when scanning your story

• ​How to pivot from “too junior” to “high potential”

• ​Real frameworks. Real strategies. Real humans who’ve done it
