What else do you do to work on your own growth as a software engineer? I try creating a habit to read everyday and keep my hands dirty in development. What else can you do outside of work?
I want to create a platform that can help students to be better prepared for jobs. Based on my conversations with universities, resume preparation can take up to at least an hour per student for every revision. What if the platform/tool guides the student to create at least a well formatted resume so it helps to save the career counsellors time by 50%? And how can we help the students stand out if all resumes look the same?
What do you think are essential features for a job portal?
We genuinely want to help the next generation of undergraduates or Job switchers to land into their dream job the most productive way possible. Do love to learn from the community! ((:
Given an early start up, where the fullstack engineers has to be heavily involved with product (like a forward deployed engineer), what kind of skillsets do you think is important?
Understanding trade offs at a high clip. This is going to be counter intuitive advice, but making a lot of bad tech decisions actually leads to the desired outcome (what not to do).
Just try to put a time limit on how long you will allow yourself to do that. I’d say no more than one job (2ish years, an accelerated pace of just being an awful dev). Try all the bullshit under the sun, and then consciously stop and move on to another job.
