Becoming The Interview Champion - Interview With Dynamic Singh
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Bhupinder Singh, popularly known as Dynamic Singh, to discuss his journey in turning his interview problems... into one of his greatest strengths!
In our conversation, we discussed that it's not just about copying some steps and hoping you land the job -- truly, you need to become the person that you're aspiring to be.
And guess what that means?
You have to put in the time, and the effort, and the practice to become someone who is great at interviewing. It's all a mindset shift!

Prioritize This CRITICAL Skill as a Developer - Interview With Callie Buruchara
This is the first EVER software engineering interview done on Dev Leader, and I was excited to be able to have my first awesome guest:
Callie Buruchara!
Callie knows that communication is a critical skill to have in software engineering, and she's experienced first-hand how big of a difference it can have even in a highly technical field. In fact, most people greatly over-prioritize their technical skills instead of communication!

Up-Level Your Software Engineering Mindset! - Interview With Richard Donovan
In this video, I was joined by Richard Donovan who shared his interesting career journey and transition to focusing on mindset! One of the key takeaways that I had from this discussion was that it takes a level of self-awareness and reflection to realize that shifting your mindset can drive positive change.
Rich shares some of his ups and downs in his career, the different changes he pursued, and the realization that he had to change things about himself in order to grow. Turns out, having the right mindset and focus on mindset allowed him to do just that.
Thanks for the awesome chat, Rich!

Fuel Your Software Engineering With Purpose - Interview With William Ray
I had the pleasure to sit down with William Ray and hear about his career journey so far.
It's not what you'd expect.
And that's what makes it so great to hear about -- because there are so many different avenues to getting into software engineering.
Will shares with us his struggles before finding success in healthcare and how that was something that eventually wasn't aligned with his passion. The result is that he needed to pivot and stumbling upon coding is what changed his life once again.
Thanks for the conversation, Will!

Build Software To Get Good As Software - Interview With John Crickett
You need to code to get better at coding -- That's something you'll hear me say all of the time. But my guest today, John Crickett, has taken this to a WHOLE new level! John is the author of the extremely popular newsletter called Coding Challenges. He's created this to give software developers the focus that many of them need to go practice building things.
This was an AWESOME interview and I was excited to hear all about John's career. He shares information about jumping between different programming languages and even going back and forth between roles. I think John has a ton of wisdom that you can learn from so I hope that you enjoy!
