In this episode, we're talking about how to land that first job in tech. We're going to learn how recruiting new grads works from the inside from a recruiter, like how do you stand out to companies?

On this episode we're talking about belonging in tech. One of the most outstanding themes around women in tech is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We talk about this feeling of being excluded in tech and what we can do to foster a sense of belonging in tech, that benefits women and all kinds of people as well. I am joined by Jordanna Kwok (she/her) who is an engineering leader that is passionate about building equitable and inclusive teams in tech.

On this episode, we're talking about Leaving Your Tech Career. Maybe you're looking for a bit of a break, you're tired of your company or role, or you're in pursuit of a career that in fact feels more You. We talk about what worked and didn't work in our transitions and if we regret our choice. I am joined by Jarvis Johnson who is a professional YouTuber, making commentary and comedy vlogs about entertainment, consumer tech, and the internet. Before becoming a professional YouTuber, Jarvis worked as a software engineer at Yelp and Patreon for several years.

In our second episode, we're talking about cultural identity. We'll have a dialogue about our experiences growing up Asian in America, talk about how we respond to "Where are you REALLY from?", and more. We'll also talk about how to figure out what your cultures mean to you, from living a life in between. The experiences shared in this episode are going to be mostly about the Asian American experience, but there are a lot of commonalities and relatable themes for anyone who's ever had to live between different identities. I am joined by Sharon Kim who is a product/content intern at a mental health startup. She also works as a mental health therapist on the side. Her goal is to learn how to build healthy/safe communities on online creative platforms.
