from Easier Said Than Done (Career Change & How to Do it) · host Zubin Pratap

The #1 reason mid-career professionals fail at coding has nothing to do with IQ, bootcamps, or degrees—it’s all in your inner game. They don’t want you to know this. Show Summary and FREE Resources are further below 👇   Ever feel like tech is a locked door and everyone else has the key? You’ve bought courses, maybe even tried a bootcamp, but the overwhelm, frustration, and self-doubt creep back in. Here’s the truth: generic training fails 80% of career changers because it ignores the silent killer—your psychology. In this episode, you’ll discover the mindset shift that separates those who land tech jobs from those who quietly quit.
