(40 minutes).
I will discuss components that, in the context of a fully remote work environment, enabled a recent computer science graduate without security experience to grow into a competent independent contributor and team lead. Specifically, I plan to touch upon what the organization and my managers did to help me overcome impostor syndrome and the role I played in doing that. I'll discuss why I believe I can make mistakes and always ask for help. Additionally, I'll explain how I personally developed my technical skills in parallel to project work without burning out. Finally, I will share what keeps me in my current role.
