S4:E2 Target Salesman to Software Engineer Feat. Tom Rasmussen of Red Ventures

Tom Rasmussen, a Software Engineer (SWE) at Red Ventures, continued our Day 1 of DevCon. During this session, Tom talks about his unconventional journey, for example - the first programming job he was getting paid only $.25 more than his last employer, Target. Take a listen on what steps Tom took to become an SWE and how his definition of what Web programming is. In April of 2020, The Next Steps team was motivated to help individuals who are pursuing careers in engineering, technology, and entrepreneurship, but found themselves paralyzed by the COVID19 Pandemic. Like so many of us, these individuals found themselves unsure about what are the Next Steps. We put together DevCon, a virtual conference where we focused on three areas: how to get started, how to level up in your career and shed light on entrepreneurship for engineers. The Conference was sponsored by Wallet Clicks, the digital business card company.
