In this week’s show, Phil talks to Shruti Balasa, a full stack developer.

She is now focused on creating tutorials and courses to simplify web development for beginners. Shruti talks about why we should always try to remain open to new possibilities in our IT careers. She also discusses the importance of effective networking in order to let the world know what we’re capable of.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:   TOP CAREER TIP We should be open to any opportunities, especially earlier in our IT careers.
