TechTO Talent: How to manage your career today

You know what they say about employment uncertainty: when life hands you lemons, hire a full-stack developer to design an app that makes lemonade.

Okay, so nobody uses that expression. But when talking about the job market, many people offer equally hollow words and ideas.

So let’s come together to cut through the awkwardness and confront the obvious — the COVID crisis has rocked the tech ecosystem. Let’s channel our collective anxieties into something productive: an opportunity to expand our professional networks, discuss career strategies, and invest in professional development.

You will hear from:

• Farhan Thawar (VP Engineering at Shopify)
• Fiona Lake Waslander (Co-Founder and COO at Skylight)
• Laurel Farrer (International remote work expert and strategist)
