The How "Not to Make Work Suck" Session

We spend over 2200 hours per year at our place of employment and 85% of us hate our jobs. Many of us grew up hearing that work shouldn't be fun, but many of us live with this every day, leading to lesser quality of life and mental health.
This session builds on experience, research and framework, presenting how to:
1. Identify paths to success in the technical careers and more satisfying employment.
2. Important tips/tricks for the interview process we rarely hear about.
3. How to build out your own role once hired, (or how to use your strengths to best serve both the company and you.)
4. How to show value, even if your manager doesn't know what you actually do.
5. How/where to find mentors, sponsors and supporters.
6. How to make waves and change work culture.
7. How to know when to say goodbye and to strategically move to a better opportunity.

Along with tips, tricks and data, this session will include significant resources to help you make work suck less and help you be more satisfied with your choice in employment.
