Why You Shouldn't Be a Junior Developer

Laurie first took us through the many times where she should have realized that she was meant to be a developer but didn't. We spoke about her changing gears, going from law to program management, and finally, tech'. We talked about the public vs. private sector and highlighted her transferable skills when applying for her first dev job. We spoke of consultancy, what she learned and how she went from being title-less to a Staff Engineer at Gatsby. We finally spoke about finding where to go next and how she landed at Netflix.
