Interesting perspectives

It’s cool that they bring on two guests to riff on the different topics. It seems like sometimes the guests aren’t really disagreeing but even then you get to understand how different companies deal with similar problems.

Fantastic Podcast for Startup Technologists

If you work in the startup space I can’t recommend this podcast enough. Hearing from tech leaders and engineers who work in the startup space is invaluable. Learning what they are looking for in candidates and when hiring will certainly help those on their journey. I subscribed instantly and can’t wait for the next set of episodes!!
