September 28, 2022 How can I prepare best for interviews this fall for internship roles next summer?
A live Twitch chat question came in asking for advice on how to best prepare for interviews starting in a few months (fall of 2022) for summer internship placements in the summer of 2023. Preparation is key, but knowing what the company even expects when you're still a student can be used to your advantage, too.

September 26, 2022 How do you answer questions in the interview about your salary expectations?
A great question in Twitch chat asked about how to approach companies that ask you for your salary expectations early in the process. The common wisdom of "do not be the first one to say a number", but sometimes the pressure is on. Here are some ideas on how to lead that conversation.

September 24, 2022 What are my thoughts on ”ageism” in the tech industry? Does it impact job hunt and hiring?
A great conversation in Twitch chat came up about asking my age, and whether being almost 50 impacted my job hunt and how I view age in the tech industry. I say it a lot, but if you can tell a good story, and show relevance to a company, and why you matter, and that you can DO the job, your age should not matter. That said, bias is real in the tech industry, too, and it's hard to detect discrimination.

September 22, 2022 Will wearing a mask affect my interviews if the company doesn’t strictly require them?
This is a very good question from our Discord community. This person is concerned about COVID-19 and other health-related issues, and was asking whether wearing a mask to an interview would have a negative effect on getting a job with a compay, if that company does not require employees to wear masks.

September 19, 2022 What is the safest way to answer the question, ”Why did you leaveyour previous job?”
Another anonymous question from our Discord community asked how to "safely" answer a common behavioral question about why you left your previous job. Answering this in a "safe" way comes down to deflecting from the reasons you left and focusing more on why you're a great fit for this job at this company. Focus on the value you bring, not on negative reasons for leaving the last job -- even if they deserve it!

September 16, 2022 I’ve been away from tech for 4 years. Should I apply for less-senior level roles?
A question from our live Twitch chat asked about getting back into the tech industry after an extended break of 4 years. Their worry is that some of their skills are no longer current, and they would have some learning curve to "get up to speed" on things at any new job. I offer up some advice on how to discuss this at an interview, if it even comes up.

September 10, 2022 How do you advance in your career as a developer? Is there more growth opportunity in management?
A fantastic question from Twitch chat about advbancement paths as a developer, and whether there is more growth opportunity if they switch to a management track. I draw a lot of parallels between the two tracks.

September 08, 2022 STOP reading ”you must know these 100 things to be a REAL developer” lists -- they’re GARBAGE!
Leetcode is NOT the only thing to study for interview prep, and people need to stop reading lists that demand that you know "these 1,000 study topics/skills/technologies to be a REAL developer". Stop gaslighting/gatekeeping people! Go apply for the job.
