Always Be Interviewing
You are responsible... • For your learning • For your
development • For your career • For your teammates • For lots of important things
...but you’re not alone • Find a mentor • Lean
on your peers • Mentor someone • Give back
A Key Component of DevOps is BS • Bilateral Sharing
Quit Your Job! • It’ll be OK • Be active
in the community • Step out of the echo chamber • Step out of your comfort zone
Thanks! • @nathenharvey • I’m not quitting my job today
but maybe you should • Would love to interview you for the Food Fight Show
