Breaking Into Software
by Sarah Hudson
Breaking into Software is all about giving people who are just starting out in the CS industry the tips and advice they need to get the interviews they want and ace them! I provide the advice I wish I had know when I began applying to jobs, along with the tips that got me offers from Google, Microsoft, and Boeing within one year of writing my first lines of code! I also interview industry experts such as recruiters at the big tech companies, current engineers (the ones who do the interviewing), and founders of some of the biggest names in coding interview prep. Listen as I teach you how to create your road-map to your dream job. It's not an overnight process, but I will teach you how to get there one step at a time!
