Shop Talk Show
202: With Monika Piotrowicz and Lara Hogan
Intro
This week we talk with Monika Piotrowicz and Lara Hogan about career paths – where we started from doesn’t always equal where we’ve landed. Freelancer? Go to university or college? Find a mentor? It’s a common ShopTalk Show question and we do our best to answer from our experiences.
Q & A
- 51:47 Where I live there aren’t many local jobs for me. The local jobs are mostly unrelated to my skill set and aren’t things I’m interested in, and the remote jobs tend to be geared towards those with many years of experience and better developed soft-skills. Am I, or anyone else in a similar situation to mine, outa luck? Or is there a plausible escape plan?

Braintree 23:20
Developers around the world have embraced the Braintree vdotzero SDK as the easiest way to add secure mobile payments to their apps and websites.
No matter what payment type, Braintree accepts it. Apple Pay, Android Pay, PayPal, Venmo, credit cards, even Bitcoin. And if something new pops up, Braintree will support that too. It’s the same payment solution used by Uber, Airbnb, and GitHub, so you know it scales.
Integrating it into your app is as easy as inserting a few lines of code. Try out the sandbox and see for yourself.
