What to do when looking for a job after being laid off? I’m puppy-sitting, watching Bruce attempt to eat a bone bigger than himself and it was a great decision.
Website portfolio & job hunt kinda day 👩🏼💻 Still immensely sad about Altos massive layoff but using this energy to stay motivated to move on to bigger things ✨~manifesting~✨
It's a rare gift to truly love your job, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have experienced that at Alto. The news of our recent layoff came as a shock, and I can't help but feel a profound sense of loss for the projects we were passionate about and the exceptional...
a second family to me. I cherished the work we did together, the problems we tackled, and the camaraderie we shared. Their talents, humor, kindness, and effectiveness made every day a joy.
As I embark on my job search, I'm determined to find an..
opportunity that will allow me to continue making a meaningful impact and surround myself with like-minded individuals who share the same passion for innovation and collaboration.

ALT Women Who Code Dallas / Fort Worth presents the Monthly Mentor Panel on Starting Your Startup
As a software engineer, how can you recognize that you are firefighting too much?
Here are a few questions worth asking. If the answer is "Yes" to several of them: you might be firefighting too much.
What other ways would you say you can recognize that you're in this situation?
ALT As an engineer, how can you recognize if you are firefighting more than what should be normal?
Ask yourself these questions:
Do I spend more time responding to incidents/interruptions than working on my “main” work?
Do I find myself regularly doing overtime because of unexpected work that comes up, and is urgent?
Have there been at least two weeks in the past month when unexpected and urgent work came in, that needed to be dealt with ASAP?
On weeks that I am oncall, does my workload increase significantly, thanks to having to mitigate oncall issues, on top of my ‘normal’ work?
Do I expect to keep working on unexpected work that will just keep coming in, at least for the next month?
Do you struggle to manage work in #Jira or another time tracking software?
Do you write tickets and come back to them without remembering their context?
Do you have other similar questions?
