"How to Level Up Your Career in Software"

Writing software for a living comes with numerous perks, but for many, getting to career bliss is tough.

However, after you've landed your first software job, the help starts to thin and it's often hard to move forward with your career. So, if you've successfully entered the field of software engineering, but are feeling stuck, this talk will cover a variety of practical strategies that will help move your career forward.
