Welcome to the Zero Plus One Podcast!!! I am excited to bring you the knowledge and motivation to becoming a successful software engineer. This podcast will cover the tactical steps needed to land your dream job. I'll be covering everything needed to get you your first software engineering job or internship, such as interviewing tips and tricks, resume advice, studying for technical interviews, and negotiating offers.
For those who have already landed their first software engineering job, I'll be covering how to grow and advance in your career, how to become a leader on your team and within an organization, and how to navigate the journey of a software engineer.
You will hear from special guests from a variety of roles to give you better insight and a different perspective into what it's like to be a software engineer. A few examples include: having a hiring manager on to talk about what she or he looks for in an ideal candidate, having a recruiter on to talk about how they can serve you best as a software engineer searching for a new job, or having a software engineer on to talk about their experience as a software engineer.

In this episode I interview Wyatt Weisensel on how he went from being an english teacher in Japan to becoming a software engineer. Wyatt goes in-depth about what his 5 months of unemployment and job searching looked like during covid. He talks about how to stay relevant, the importance of side projects, how to take control of the interview, understanding your value, and the importance of mentorship. We go on to talk about how interviewing in the midwest is different and the same from big tech companies, FANG. Making a decision or evaluating offers can be difficult, so Wyatt and I talk about why it's important to look at more than just salary when choosing an offer.

In this episode, I interview Neil CarlinSchauer, a software engineer. He talks about how he went from being a super senior failing classes to becoming a full stack software engineer who is now leading projects and mentoring junior engineers. Seeking and creating opportunities was a recurring theme in Neil’s career. Neil goes in depth on how he “leveled up” during college with his first internship and by surrounding himself with like minded individuals. To wrap up the interview I asked him what are four tips for software engineering candidates, he replied with five:

  1. Research the company you’re applying for
  2. Be up to date on your technical skills (fundamentals)
  3. Practice interviewing
  4. Solid communication
  5. Don’t be a dick

During these hard times and this state of social distancing, I wanted to bring a different perspective to this episode. I give three tips on being an effective teammate while working from home, as well as, a deep dive into a few topics from last episode: getting an internship, resume advice, study plans, and recovering from failure. I give additional advice on how to network while you are stuck inside.
Stay healthy and safe!
