10 Learnings to Help You Along Your DevRel Career Path

This event brought together three experienced professionals, Jessica West, Sarah Thiam, and Shuba Swaminathan, to share their insights on DevRel career paths, highlighting that there is no single path into DevRel, and that having a beginner mindset, creating opportunities for yourself and others, and being prepared to wear multiple hats are key skills. The panelists emphasized the importance of authenticity, managing imposter syndrome, leadership, and preparing for a DevRel interview. They also discussed how underrepresented groups can benefit from seeking out groups to skill up or help others learn in this relatively new field, and that diverse backgrounds, empathy, and learning capacity can be valuable assets in a DevRel role.
