Episode notes
Hackathon Friend Became Mentor
- Stephanie attended two hackathons in 2018 and met a friend who later mentored her after a layoff. That mentorship directly helped her transition into tech.
Use Coffee Chats And Hackathons To Network
- Do coffee chats and always end by asking for recommended resources and who else to speak with to expand your network. Push yourself to attend hackathons and meetups even if you're introverted to open future opportunities.

- Prefer a hybrid first job so you can learn in-person from senior engineers while keeping remote flexibility for mental-health needs. In-person time accelerates learning through informal conversations and pair programming.
