Being a senior/junior engineer in 2021 – podcast
Last week I went on the PodRocket podcast to talk about engineering careers, serverless handbook, and the current job market. We talked about why it's ice cold for new entrants, and flaming hot for experienced folk. 🤔
A reader liked it so much he emailed:
just finished podcast with you! Was great, lots of great thoughts. When you talked about juniors, I've realized, there's probably room for "Juniors mindset" series as well :)
