A software engineer does more than write code. They work with cross-functional groups, lead teams, mentors and helps drive business growth. As software experts, we should consider breaking the stereotype and demonstrate our impact to business and society.
Join WITI and JPMorgan Chase as we hear personal stories about career progression and working through challenges from leaders in engineering. They will also share advice on how to make the most of your career through learning and personal growth.
After the discussion, our guests will have an opportunity to network with leaders and sit with hiring managers in a "speed networking" format to discuss about the nearly 100 Software Engineering opportunities JPMorgan Chase Chicago Technology has available. Resumes are encouraged.
As always, men are welcome and encouraged to attend and participate.
