new responsibilities w/ taylor poindexter, eng manager at spotify
guest: taylor poindexter, engineering manager at spotify
- use your network to get introductions since that can push you to the front of the line in a crowded job market
- look beyond fang companies since plenty of non tech companies are hiring software engineers and tech roles
- research products you love and check sites like g2.com to find competitors and uncover roles you hadn't considered
- be gentle with yourself during a job search and take breaks since rest can help you interview better
- when reaching out to a hiring manager point to the specific role and explain why you fit instead of a generic cold message
