What you wish you knew

Earlier today, a few dozen of Technical.ly's 2021 RealLIST Engineers from all of our markets convened on our public Slack to discuss everything from professional development to mental health, Q&A style. (Join our Slack here if you're not already there.)

 

We'll be sorting through the many threads to post recaps of some of the discussions, including the classic "what I wish I knew when I first started in tech," which always manages to deliver responses we haven't heard countless times, no matter how often we ask it.

 

If you want to add your own response to the conversation, we're always interested! Drop us a line at  to add your 2¢.
