What do I need to get a good job in programming?

Is it possible to get a job in a dot.com startup as a marketer or do you need to know coding or programming as well?

• Answer:

  You can absolutely get a job at a "http://dot.com startup" as a marketer without knowing how to code or program, however it really depends on the company. Startups vary greatly and it's up to your employer whether or not they require that skill-set. Speaking personally, I work in marketing at http://hiredMYway.com, which is a "http://dot.com startup", and my team is not required to code or program at all. We use a separate company to do our back-end development, and we maintain the front-end. My team is lucky to have enough funds where we can outsource coders. Many smaller companies may not be able to afford that luxury. If you're interested in working at a certain company, you could research the company to see if they have coders on board as well as marketers. You could also look up current employees on LinkedIn (if they have accounts) and see if they include coding in their skill-set. I hope this helps!
