As you guys may have noticed, there was no #RenderRoundtable on Twitter Spaces last Thursday. While we missed you all dearly, our Director of Outreach and Engagement who facilitates these dope conversations was graduating! But before she walked across the stage, we did get a chance to sit down with Ayo Duyile, a Product Manager at Microsoft.
Ayo not only gave us some tips and tricks for securing the bag, but we also talked about how to gauge what salary to aim for when entering your career, how to negotiate your offer, securing internships, and even transitioning between different industries. It was an enlightening conversation that got even better when we learned about the amazing work that Ayo is doing with Techsgiving.
Techsgiving is a program that aims to tackle the lack of minority representation in technology. Ayo and his co-founders work with middle school and high school-age kids to expose them to tech and help them find and incubate their talents. Here at Render, we often talk a lot about the importance of paying it forward as you climb the ladder, and the many forms giving back can take.
As always, we appreciate you guys for chatting with us-- it was definitely a conversation for the books!
Be sure to tune into our Twitter Spaces conversation this Thursday, May 20th with Brian Douglas. We'll be discussing the value of open-source, and how you can start making your own open-source contributions. You can add a reminder to your calendar here-- it's a conversation you won't want to miss!
Tickets for RenderATL are moving fast! Maybe it's our great lineup of speakers, or it might be the delicious food on the menu, but either way, we're excited to see you guys in September! If you haven't already, get yours, and don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter for important conference-related updates.
We've got more tech talks and fun events planned, so be sure to follow us on Twitter and Instagram to keep up with all things Render, and we'll see you guys on Spaces!
Until next time!
