Learning to Code in a Foreign Language with Caroline Carter

Caroline Carter is an account executive at The Duckbill Group, having joined the team in July 2019. Prior to this position, she was an enterprise account executive at CB Insights, a senior account executive at Square, a client operations associate at BlackRock, and an account manager at Savoir Faire Paris, among other positions. She also worked as an English-speaking teaching assistant in Paris for a year. Join Corey and Caroline as they talk about what it was like for Caroline to learn Ruby on Rails in France, how Corey and Caroline met and how their relationship has evolved over the years, how there’s a whole society of people who hate their jobs yet stick with them for years and why Caroline never wanted to be part of it, why Caroline believes you should take job interviews regularly—even if you love your current job, why Corey thinks a successful mentorship depends more on the protege than the mentor, how everyone is doing sales even if they don’t realize it, the difference between working in enterprise sales and working for a startup, and more.
