It was very refreshing to listen to Ingrid and Jeff talk about the interview process. In my experience, the mind can really run wild when thinking about jobs from the junior perspective. There is so much we don't know, yet we make all these assumptions about things like why a company hasn't responded to an email, what they are actually looking for, and so on. Hearing these two experienced developers talk about what really matters (including attitude and manners) was very grounding for my perspetive. I'm excited to move forward in my job search with these things in mind. Specifically, I'm going to worry less about appearing more technically competent than I am, and focus more on showing my natural love of learning and empathy for others.

Luck/fate/insert-term-for-cosmic-incident-here. I wound up at an informational session because my partner, Hannah, was interested. I was in a pretty insecure and hollow place after one year of a PhD program, and the Turing tribe resonate with me from the start. I was drawn here because the people seemed smart and not pretentious, and the work seemed meaningful and engaging.
