2023 DevRel Compensation & Culture Survey (Ep 84)
As the industry continues to change, keeping a pulse on it becomes even more difficult. Luckily, the team over at Common Room partnered with a number of DevRel professionals (some of whom are on this call!) to create a survey focused on DevRel compensation as well as roles and responsibilities, business impact, success metrics, and personal wellbeing. In this episode, we’ll talk about the results of the survey and learn what we can do to push the industry forward.

Defining Your Role Before Someone Else Does (Ep 81)
As we learned in Episode 79, “How We Broke DevRel as an Industry”, sometimes the people in charge may not know how to set you up for success. The tasks you’re expected to do can take you away from your core focus. In today’s episode, we’ll talk through how to define your role and defend your team against that very real possibility of being tasked with items that don’t belong within your purview.

Customer Reviews
Mary always provides great content
As a new person in DevRel these quick episodes help fill in some knowledge gaps.
The go-to place for DevRel Content
In a world where finding quality content on how to do this new job called devrel, it can be hard to find support, learn, and do a better job. Community pulse as a group is the de-facto go-to place to learn about devrel. Pretty much the basis of everything I do now they have taught me in one place or the other.
I joined a company as a developer advocate because the owners “were told by their investors it was important” and that was all they knew. So they said “go be good at this job now”. I was excited because it sounded like exactly what I wanted to do, but not exactly sure how to do it to the highest level.
I was happy to find their podcast, Mary’s book, their slack, and their community to help me on this journey and learn more about everything there is to know about devrel, and how to do it affectively. They have a ton of experience and are a great place to learn anything and everything you want to know about being successful in this crazy new role. Be sure to give them a listen.
Amazing!
Mary, Jason, and PJ are three of the best podcast hosts I've heard. I absolutely love listening to their expertise in each episode, and I would definitely recommend this podcast to anyone looking to learn as much as they can.
