Ep. 081, Fear the Tree

Amanda Richardson grew up and started her career on the East Coast, but it took just one trip to California to fall in love with the state. In Episode 081, we talk about the siren song of Stanford, being the janitor on strategy presentations, and the gamification of coding interviews. Also covered are being the acquirer vs. the acquired, the trauma of winding up a company, and Phase RAIL. Now the CEO of CoderPad.io, Amanda shares how her stints in product management prepared her for the role, and how a nudge from a recruiter steeled her resolve to become a leader.    Further reading from the topics discussed: https://coderpad.io/ https://www.codingame.com/start https://www.codingame.com/work/ https://www.teca-sf.org/ https://www.hoteltonight.com/ https://prezi.com/
