GR8 Tech’s Post

Hey world! Following an acquisition and layoffs at WeTransfer, I'm looking for a new job. I took a few weeks to soul search (picture me, brooding amongst the fall foliage 🍁 and developing hand cramps from excessive journaling), and have decided for my next job that I'd like to (drumroll please 🥁 🥁 🥁) continue in software engineering (hooray!). If you happen to know someone who's hiring, I'd immensely appreciate a connection 🙏 Besides a paycheck that will enable me to pay my mortgage, I'm really looking for the chance to make a positive social impact with my work--I'm particularly passionate about 👩🎓 education, 📖 literacy, 🧐 critical thinking skill development (tbh anything 📚 book or publishing adjacent would also be amazing), 🗳 civic engagement, and 🌿 sustainability. Some things I can bring to the table include: - 6+ years of development/engineering experience 👩💻 - a delivery-focused mindset 🚀 - excellent written communication skills ✍ - being a genuinely nice person to work with and be around 🙌 (Don't just take my word for it--here's an anonymous peer review from a former colleague: “BJ is probably one of the best teammates you can have. She’s so reliable, relatable and, well respected. I know immediately when I started working with her that I would like working with her. She has incredible attention to detail, and across all aspects of the code rather than just one part. I have learned a lot from her especially with regards to testing and accessibility. Not going to lie, I miss working with her since she moved over to [another project].”) If I'm not your particular cup of tea, I also have loads of other ✨ amazing ✨ former colleagues I know who are also looking (EMs, SWEs, designers, PMs, you name it). Give me a shout and I'll try to connect you if I can.

Hey GenX! Have you dreamed about a life outside of corporate where you're in charge of your time, doing the work you want to do? But are worried you don’t have the skills or that it is too risky to go solo? I get it, I was in that same position But here are 5 reasons why that is not the case: 1. Corporate has brainwashed us into believing the only safe path is to stay in corporate, but there is nothing safe about corporate for GenXers—or anyone, for that matter. Layoffs, ageism, automation, job market—pick your poison 2. In corporate, you have zero control over anything. You do what they want, how they want it, and when they want it 3. You do have the experience and skills necessary to go solo. If someone is paying you to do a job, your skills will transfer 4. Small businesses are hungry for your experience but until recently didn’t have access to the talent and experience you possess. Fractional and other models make it affordable for them and you! 5. The best part is you can and should start this while you are still in corporate! It can minimizes the risk, and if you find this is not for you, you can always go back to corporate The fact is this may not be for you but it doesn’t cost you anything to educate yourself How to get started?

Dear Courageous One: 👋🏼 Hope the weekend is treating you well. #relax A picture is worth a thousand words, and this one is no exception. As you reflect over your career #careersnotjobs are you being honest with yourself. Community really does matters! Whether you are learning, unlearning, becoming, being a movement, getting back up, or undergoing a complete transformation, you should never remain the same. If you aspire to get better, you must first know yourself. Once you discover who YOU are then you will start finding that tribe: mentors, sponsors, board of directors and perhaps friends. #growth #neveroptional Having a sense of community of people who will grow with you, pour into you when you are empty, alleviate your doubts, inspire you and water your soul is what a sense of community does. Environment is everything!! Please friends, look for spaces, places, opportunities and situations that bring out the best in you. #accessmoretogether #noexceptions Remember when you were in school, and recess was taking place? Oh, the anticipation of how you would spend the time. More importantly, who would spend the time with you. (Kickball, Jump rope and a game of tag). Being invited in because one sees you is simply major #imatter. Be around good humans: 🙌🏼 👐🏼 👏🏼 1. Who celebrate you, not tolerate you. 2. Provide feedback that makes you stronger and better. #inspiremeplease 3. Bring out the "perfectly capable" person you are. #imgood 4. See the potential in you and cultivates good soil so you have roots. #bloom 5. Give you the space in your becoming. You don't have to have it all figured out for your next. #becoming #bornleader 6. Respect your time which is a valuable commodity. You don't get it back. ⏲ SALTO Systems, we are hiring for several open roles.

OWNERSHIP is crucial when hiring a software engineer! When I was at Software Technology Group, I hired an engineer by the name of Joshua Talltree. He was full of energy and also ownership. I loved that about him. He has achieved many things while working for his current company AgReserves, Inc. From day one he showed me what ownership meant and on a weekly basis he would call or text me with results of what he had accomplished that week. When we spoke on the phone he knew what was expected of him. This is how he exemplified ownership: 🫡 He knew what his end goal was and would engage in proactive learning to get there 🤩 He respected his managers and went above and beyond to build their trust 👏 Every week he would ask me what he could do to improve his skills 👍 He embraced the STG culture and sought after "doing the right thing" 💯 His attitude was always in the right place even if things were hard At JobNimbus, one of our core values in Ownership. People who bring this quality with them are heroes and consistently show up. Who do you know that brings ownership? #Ownership #Softwareengineering #Recruiting

🚩 PSA: Beware the Red Flags (and no, they're not just for capture the flag) 🚩 It's tough out there, adventurers, but it’s even tougher when you find yourself stuck in a company where the red flags are popping up faster than side quests. Recently, I took on a mission that seemed promising at first—until I realized I’d been handed a ripped and burnt map. 🚩 No clear documentation on anything (seriously, can a girl get a quest log?) 🚩 Goals kept shifting (60 days till the deadline turned into 30? To use or not to use?) 🚩 A lot of improper usage of AI ( ...I don't even know how to explain how bad.) 🚩 Crucial legal issues were straight-up ignored (because apparently signatures and company info are optional now?) 🚩 Leadership felt like a chaotic raid party with no strategy. 🚩 Direction? A spinning compass. 🚩 Promises? Vague at best. 🚩 And when possible clients started asking if the whole program was legit and I addressed my concerns of this and more? …. Instead of addressing/fixing the problems, and concerns and building trust, I got booted for "not doing my job." 🤯 All of this in under 3 weeks! 💜 But here’s the thing: it wasn’t me, and if you’re dealing with similar nonsense or were given the boot after similar things, it’s not you either. If your job feels like a never-ending grind with constant miscommunication and legal issues being ignored, it's time to pack up your gear and move on. You deserve a guild that equips you with the right tools, values your effort, and listens when you sound the alarm. 🚩 Don’t stay in a party full of red flags—you’re worth more than that! #RedFlags #KnowYourWorth #QuestForBetterJobs #YouDeserveBetter #LevelUpYourCareer #LayOffs #GreenBanner
