  • Create several lessons (async or live) that inform students about non-dev roles they can apply for out of Turing.

  • Support Engineer

  • DevOps

  • Developer Advocate

  • QA

  • Technical Writer

  • Product Manager

  • Sales/Solutions Engineer

  • or any other tech adjacent role

Would be awesome to get alumni to speak to these roles

  • Ensure these lessons are on the calendar

Recorded panel on non-traditional dev roles (mostly support engineering): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W11otFE-xWI&list=PL1Y67f0xPzdOmktyQlnqVEIRpbTx_apNm&index=3

Looks like we have some folks in DevOps:

It would be cool to record like a 30 min convo with 1 or 2 people from each role and then each week students:

  1. watch the video
  2. spend 20ish min just browsing jobs posted for that role
  3. submit reflections (What would I like about this role? What would be challenging? How does my pervious experience lend itself to a role like this?)

We could invite Zoe and Ian back to talk about being a Solutions Engineer!

@Eric Weissman
is a program manager

Also, I'm more than happy to talk about support engineering if we want a more direct convo versus the panel discussion
