In this episode, we chat with @mewtru who had her fair share of the tech world, working as a software engineer at big-name companies like Square, Uber, and Discord. Honestly, these are companies any of us would jump at the chance to work for. But, as Tru's ready to share, it's not all rainbows and unicorns in the tech realm. She brings to light what typically stays hidden - the not-so-glamorous side of the everyday 9-5 grind of a software engineer. So, buckle up and get ready for an inside scoop on what it's really like behind those glitzy tech logos. Tru's YT Channel: @mewtru Tru's Twitter: https://twitter.com/trunarla
