How to Ghost Old White Men With Your GitHub Flex
Ritvika Nagula, a Microsoft software engineer, practically hacked the late-stage capitalism job game by landing FOUR offers out of grad school, including from Amazon and eBay. She insists, 'the rĂ©sumĂ© is definitely the most important thing' for engineers, and flexed her side hustleâa Facebook chatbot powered by GoodReads APIâto show off that passion. Her secret weapon?
