Talk: Junior to Senior and beyond!

Coding is the easy part, but now you're in your first role you are the captain of your own career. We'll talk about the skills, techniques and mindset required to grow your software engineering career; either as a technical specialist or as a people manager. I'll talk about how GitLab and other similar companies grow their engineers, what to look out for and how you can avoid making some of the same mistakes I have.
