Chasing Squirrels
Jeff Winkler
Each episode is a LIVE job post looking for a software engineer. We interview the hiring managers and decision makers to see what they are looking for in a candidate for each position to give you a greater insight into the culture and company itself. They will highlight their company and the position itself so you don't have to waste time applying to jobs you don't even want. Head over to GoldenSquirrel.io and leave your email address and the minimum salary that would interest you in exploring another opportunity and we’ll email you podcast episodes along with the salary range and interview process, BUT only if it meets your salary requirements. If you don’t hear from us then you’ll know the grass isn’t greener on the other side of the fence and you can get back to work and focus on your next ticket.
