👋 Hello and welcome to Lenny’s Newsletter readers who are checking out The Career Whispers!
Today I guest posted “How to pass any first-round interview (even in a terrible talent market)” in Lenny’s newsletter, and I’m so excited you found your way to The Career Whispers!
PS: for my OG readers, the post in Lenny’s Newsletter is here for you to check out. We made it a free post so all of his readers and my readers can get it at no cost.
I’m 📢 Coach Erika. I help tech professionals navigate their careers, from landing the job to negotiating compensation to navigating the myriad challenges that pop up every day on the job.
You should know that I’m not a full-time coach. I’m a tech worker, like you.
I’m currently a series A Chief Product Officer, and in the past I’ve been an engineer and engineering manager at Verily, a product manager in late-stage healthtech companies, a technical program manager at Google, and an engineering leader at Samsara.
Everything I know, I teach. My goal is to help my readers thrive in tech by:
landing their dream jobs and getting paid fairly
learning how to build productive work habits and relationships
navigating workplace challenges using proven patterns and wisdom
I publish new posts weekly on topics tailored to tech workers. Below are the top 3 most loved issues to date:
