Hi everyone!

We are happy to formally announce our iOS track!
You can learn more about it here: https://bit.ly/3hZe2ld

Please share this announcement with anyone who you think would be interested! 🚀
What Computer Science basics are required for junior roles at companies like Google?

Many people asked us this question and we decided to write an answer to it based on job descriptions, interview questions, and informal employee surveys.

This article includes links to educational materials that we think cover those topics well.

We can discuss the announcement further in English here: @outtalentcafe or in Russian here @outtalentnachalo.
Channel name was changed to «Outtalent News»
Why should you use a career accelerator like Outtalent instead of preparing for interviews at top companies alone?

We did a study of reasons people join and don't join Outtalent, and here is what we found out. Which of these reasons listed sound more like yours?

dydx (https://dydx.exchange/) and 0x (https://0x.org/) are growing a lot and hiring a lot of software engineers.

You can either apply there directly or apply to Outtalent (https://outtalent.com/check) to ramp up your hard and soft skills before applying.
🎉 One of the systems design interviewers said that our Ukrainian Outtalent fellow's performance was the strongest he has ever seen across 200+ interviews across his 6 year career at Google.
Together with Google, we recorded a session for Google Developer Student Clubs called How to Get a Job at a Big Tech Company

It is focused more on junior developers but has some tips for senior developers too. We hope you find it interesting and useful.

We are happy to share the video of our offsite - our first international in-person meetup!

Through Outtalent, our graduates supported each other on bad days, toasted each other's victories on the good days, and in the end, shared the same life-changing event. We believe this is the foundation of Outtalent, and one of the goals of the offsite was to celebrate it.

With over 150 received offers, Outtalent has helped 70 people get jobs at companies they wanted to work at. We have 50+ fellows enrolled now, navigating the challenges of the current market, putting in the hours, and never losing track of their goals. We hope having moments like this ahead can fuel their hard work.

So many dreams had to converge so we could meet in Cambridge, and we are so grateful they did. Here's to having many more offsites ahead of us, and if we ever need a little push forward, we have the perfect video to get it from.
