Engineering Leadership Excellence Podcast · 2023-04-06 · 45 min
In our second episode of Season 2, we chatted with Hussien Khayoon , Staff Software Developer at Shopify, about the undisputable importance and value of mentoring - regardless if you’re just starting out or already at the top of your game. He discusses how his mentoring roles at Bootcamp, Superpeer, and ADPList gave him a different perspective on teaching people and leading teams. His participation in these groups, Hussien explains, is his way of giving back and reminding himself that he still has much to learn. After more than a decade in tech, Hussien says he still often turns to his peers when tackling new challenges and explains how regular one-to-ones can truly help redefine your career goals. In addition to his mentoring commitments, Hussien shares his job advice and musings in a weekly newsletter geared toward junior developers and actively posts videos on LinkedIn. His ADPList profile can be found here . Interested in joining our growing team at Productboard? Well, we’re hiring across the board!
