Getting Your First Software Engineering Job with Princess Egbuna
I had a chat on getting your first software engineering job with Princess Egbuna, Software Engineer at Well Beyond, Former Software Engineer at Andela and one of the awesome folks building Open Source Community Africa. We talked about how to get your first job in tech and what her journey into tech was like. It was an insightful conversation and I love every part of it.
