I'm trying to switch careers into tech and honestly I'm terrified because I'm not a math person at all. I have this interview for a junior coordinator role at an AI startup in Austin next week and I'm totally panicking because everyone there seems like a genius. I have about three weeks to get my life together before I might start. I know all the coding stuff is important but I basically know zero about that right now and there's no way I can learn python in a week.

Is it possible to survive in AI if you aren't a coder? What kind of non-technical soft skills actually help or do they only care about the math...

Clear communication is huge. I'm happy with my cheap Logitech M170 Wireless Mouse Black for work. Focus on organization and being proactive, you really don't need math for coordinating.

In my experience critical thinking beats math everytime. Use free tutorials to save cash.

  • Ethics awareness
  • Problem solving Grabbed an Acer SB220Q bi 21.5-inch Full HD Monitor for cheap.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I'd say documentation is more vital than talk imo. My APC Back-UPS Pro 1500VA Battery Backup works well and saved my data during an outage.

  • Organizing technical specs
  • Safety checks
