Becoming a Standout Developer, with Randall Kanna

πŸŽ™ About the episode

This is a rebroadcast of one of our most popular interviews. Meet Randall Kanna πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ! Randall is a software developer, lead product engineer, and the author of The Standout Developer.

Once upon a time, Randall learned the unsettling truth that almost everyone on her team earned more money than her. She mustered the courage to confront her boss and said, β€œHey! Google is interested in me. I could go there, or you can give me the fair salary bump I deserve!” They obliged, and at that moment, Randall learned just how important it is to advocate yourself.


Randall wants you to have the best possible start to your tech career and joins the podcast to share what she’s learned about how to stand out and thrive in tech. Spoiler: It’s not just about your coding skills.
