  • The advice I wish I had received when I started working as a junior software engineer. How to get over the fear of not being good enough, dealing with imposter syndrome as a software engineer, advice for women in engineering and how to level up your coding game.

    Good advice Iris. Having spent nearly 40 years in the IT world as a programmer and analyst I experienced nearly all of those things that you described. I could have used that last book it sounds like back when I was coding.

      I completely agree! Most videos only show the good side of the software engineering world, I wish more people would talk about the negatives as well.

    Hey Iris , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .

      @iris-tabea  Год назад +1

      Hi there :) I use both a physical notebook and Notion on my laptop, whenever I learn something new I write it down. This way I can always come back to my notes if I need to remember how something works that I haven’t used in a while :) my list of notes is massive hahaha 😂☺️

    • @kiaraa1505
      @kiaraa1505 Год назад

      Thank you for replying !! It's soo nice to see more female software engineers in the tech field. I've been struggling to organise my notes. Do you organise them by course or topic? For example, if you learn a topic from multiple structured resources, do you organise by topic or by course?

    What tech stack/knowledge did you use/have by the time you were applying for the remote job you applied for on WeWorkRemotely and what is your approach on preparing for interviews? thanks a lot for the videos they are very helpful!

    • @iris-tabea
      @iris-tabea  Год назад +1

      Hi there :)
      When I was applying for the fully remote job I had mostly worked on backend projects in Java but I also had some knowledge in JavaScript and Python.
      To prepare for interviews I spent a lot of time looking up the most commonly asked (tech) questions and wrote my answers to them down, then I went over them multiple times before the interviews :) There is also an amazing book I can recommend for programming questions, it's called "Cracking the coding interview", here's the link:

      And this video might answer some more application questions:
