How Bootcamp Grads Can Pivot Into Climate Tech

Episode 28 of The Career Change Podcast explores how coding bootcamp graduates can pivot into climate tech — a sector that raised $45 billion in venture funding in 2025 and is projected to hire 1.2 million new workers by 2030. Lucas and Luna break down the specific roles, skills, and job boards that make this transition realistic, using the example of former restaurant manager turned carbon-accounting engineer, Maria Velez. They discuss why climate tech values 'mission-driven coding' over CS degrees, how to find startups focused on carbon tracking, energy efficiency, and sustainable supply chains, and what salary expectations look like for entry-level roles. The episode includes practical advice on building a portfolio project around open climate data and networking at industry-specific conferences like Climatebase and Greentown Labs. No buzzwords, just a clear roadmap for bootcamp grads who want their next job to matter. #ClimateTech #CareerPivot #BootcampGrads #GreenJobs #Sustainability #CarbonAccounting #CleanTech #Reskilling #ClimateBase #GreentownLabs #TechCareers #MissionDriven #OpenSourceClimate #JobsOfTheFuture #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheCareerChangePodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
