04/06/20 • 38 min

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!

The Power of Being Surrounded By Like Minded Individuals With Neil CarlinSchauer

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:

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