1/ Talk to people and LISTEN
2/ Read, watch, listen: books (swipe to unlock, the everything store, the up starts, blitzscaling...), YouTube (CEO interviews, talks), podcasts, blogs (medium, substack, stratecherry is my fav)
3/ Create, have a POV, and share: use your knowledge to form a POV on the tech business world. Analyze the past. Follow the current events. Predict the future. Share your thoughts and provide value through content.
4/ Network: after all the above, you'll be in a fantastic place to network.

This was my route. My inbox is open, DM me your LinkedIn and I'll gladly connect with you.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
