This show is called Guidance Counselor 2.0, because we had guidance counselors in middle school, high school and college, but now as adults we don't have access to that kind of resource — or at least we didn't, until now. This is the "soft skills" podcast of the software engineering industry, focused on hiring and job search tips. Host Taylor Desseyn and his guests fill in that guidance counselor role, and give job seekers the advice they need to find their next position.
In this special extended episode, Taylor sits down with Will King, Design Engineer at Snowflake. As a self-taught developer who bridges the gap between design and development, Will brings a unique perspective on building digital products and navigating a career at the intersection of multiple disciplines. They'll dive into career lessons, the importance of communication across teams, and practical advice to help you level up—whether you're just starting out or looking to make your next move.
