The way I got into tech was through conferences, not as an attendee but as a volunteer. What’s interesting about conferences is that the people there who are truly getting shit done, show up for the one thing they need and then leave as fast as possible. Aside from hackathons, everything else is just a vacation.

Wow, That’s an interesting way to get into tech! 

I’ve never had the chance to attend a conference but I’ve always wanted to. Volunteering sounds like a smart way to dive in, meet people, and learn. Do you think it gave you a different perspective on how things really work?

That’s awesome! I’ve never been to a conference but hearing how volunteering gave you that unique perspective sounds really motivating. Do you think it shaped your next steps in tech?

Great question, yes it definitely gave me a perspective I wouldn’t have known to ask for
