What’s happening in Memphis: BDPA HackMemphis Post-Hack Meetup
I want to share my takeaways from the BDPA Memphis celebration of community following the HackMemphis hackathon.
💻 The connections you make are priceless. The best part of hackathons is meeting amazing talented people.
💻 Embrace the challenge of learning a completely new skill.
💻 Zero in on an idea early and stick to it throughout the event.
💻 Clearly define team roles to avoid overlap and maximize efficiency.
💻 Polishing your presentation is as important as the application itself.
💻 HackMemphis 2024 stood out as one of the most diverse and inclusive tech events in Memphis.
After we discussed the hackathon, everyone shared career advice. Here are a few that stayed on my mind long after I left.
🎯 Be "Day 1" Ready: Prepare for success by reaching out to future teammates or asking your hiring manager about what it takes to excel in your new role. Shout out to Lawrence Lockhart for breaking this concept down.
🎯 Consistent Learning: Build intentional and realistic learning routines, and set target dates to stay motivated and measure progress.
🎯 Self-Care Matters: Know when to step back, recharge, and prioritize your well-being.
🎯 Under promise, Overdeliver: A timeless strategy for exceeding expectations and building trust.
🎯 Relationships are Key: In today’s job market, networking and relationship-building are more critical than ever.
