Why Silicon Valley isn't necessarily the best place for a Tech Career

Thank you to Formation for partnering with me on this video! Formation is an online fellowship helping early career software engineers break into top tier companies like Google, Dropbox and Lyft. Every Fellowship is custom tailored to each Fellow's specific career goals and incoming skill levels so that our mentorship and training is targeting the Fellow's specific skill gaps. All Fellows are supported unconditionally until they have a signed offer letter, with ongoing feedback and mentorship from senior engineers from the top companies in the world.
