Are you a technical person or a non-tech?

I also work with tech startups as a marketer. I have a non-tech degree with an MBA, e.g., international business administration, and a background of working at a marketing agency. Transferring to IT was definitely a process but I think it helps me to see the business side of things and the more digital side is also coming along.

I'm definitely a technical person, but I'm not a coding guru or electrical engineer. I build my own desktop rigs, can code in python, JS, and small stuff with other languages. Linux CL and Bash, nothing hardcore, but my degrees are BS Psych, BA History, am currently a graduate student working towards my PhD in History and just finished a full career in the Army as forward observer. Even though my passion for ancient history is so opposite of technical work, I still love both. I think being technical can help you in any career and make you stand out among your peers. My job in the Army was mainly combat and reconnaissance, but being technical helped me adapt to newly issued digital targeting systems and radio data encryption, etc.

I am a non-tech person but also want to be a tech person.

I am a tech person and learning marketing.

I am a tech enthusiast with a strong technical background, earlier I worked as a full-stack developer and completed numerous complex projects. now a Founder of YourGPT.

I am a technical person. In my opinion, in the realm of startups, the combination of technical expertise and visionary thinking is vital for scalable success. While technical individuals bring a realistic perspective, the absence of dreamers can hinder innovation. Effective communication becomes the cornerstone, allowing both sides to articulate their views. Through this dialogue, a harmonious relationship emerges, where dreamers inspire with vision, and tech experts provide the means to realize those dreams. This delicate balance, in my opinion, propels startups toward growth and success.

Same. I'm working as marketer but have computer science degree

same here! i have a computer science degree. I did fullstack development, competitive programming, DSA, Leetcode in my 4 years of CS engineering but now i am loving the community development, marketing and the best part i love is creating content on LinkedIn which generated me 40k+ followers on that platform! and today i do brand promotions!

I think it is must. On top of understanding the product better, technical degree helps: - Working with data properly - Setting up analytics tools properly - Working with automation tools I wrote a carrer advice blog post a while ago, which recommended several tech skills to learn for marketers.

Same for me - making a bachelor in Computer Science helps me a lot nowadays. Even if I work as a Product person now, I really appreciate coding and I think it always helps to be full of gratitude for the developers hard work and passion. And not sure if you have this if you never wrote a line of code.

That's the best of both worlds! 🔥
