Junior Jump – Speaker Panel

Ken Shimizu ·

Here at Carbon Five, we have been making an increased effort to reach out to the growing junior developer community to provide guidance and mentorship. We piloted an event series dubbed Junior Jump, catered towards helping entry level developers prepare for their engineering careers. A few weeks ago, as a part of this event series, we brought in a group of junior developers and had an fishbowl-style open conversation about various topics concerning the current climate of junior developers including: the current difficulties of job searching, what kinds of expectations should be placed on a junior developer, and what the heck is a junior developer anyways. You can find the full video of this event below.

If you’d like to participate in future Junior Jump events as either a mentor or a junior developer, please sign up at this link or join the Tinderbox Meetup. Hope to see you all at the next event!
