S3 Ep4: I Got Over Imposter Syndrome and now I'm a Senior SWE at Spotify | DevLab Podcast

Chances are, you're probably listening to this on Spotify (forgive us if you're an Apple Podcast person!), but what's it actually like working there as a Software Engineer? We go behind the scenes and delve into the incredible work of Iris Schaffer, Senior Software Engineer at Spotify.

First up, we get firsthand insight from Iris about how becoming a developer became a viable career for her when she was quite young - and her advice for others just starting out.

Then we hear some of Iris' most controversial coding opinions.

Finally, we get into her time at Spotify, imposter syndrome, and how she's managed to progress exponentially.
You can reach out to Iris here.

Spotify needs no introduction, but there’s probably a lot you don’t know about them. Their mission is simple: to unlock the potential of human creativity by giving a million creators the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it.
