June 27, 2022 Is it a good sign that I was invited back to redo an interview step in a tech stack I knew better?
One of my Twitch followers didn't do well in a pair-programming exercise in a tech stack that they didn't know very well. The company reached out and asked them to redo that interview step in a tech stack that the candidate knew much better. This is a REALLY good signal from the company, and really fantastic that they extended this invitation!

June 22, 2022 Should you take a low-paying job as your first job in tech, just to gain experience?
A question from the livestream chat asked about a sensitive circumstance where they were unemployed and offered an entry-level role for barely enough money to pay for living expenses. They asked me whether they should take the job, or keep looking for something. Knowing your value in the industry is critical, no matter where you live, or what your circumstances are. You need to advocate for yourself, and to negotiate for fair market value.
