Gergana learned she enjoyed front-end and mobile work despite earlier assumptions, then pursued her longstanding interest in machine learning and data science and became a data scientist. Michal worked on CI/CD, iOS, and front-end projects, discovered an interest in traveller-facing products and product ownership, and describes an experiment that he estimates increased annual flight revenue by GBP 1.3 million. Both praise the trust and support they received, while noting that teams spread across offices could feel isolating and not every rotation suited them. Their advice is to ask colleagues for help, take initiative, and give themselves time to find a direction. ### Source excerpt Not Sure What to Do After Graduation? Here's how Skyscanner's Grad Program kick-started our careers in tech. Hello everyone! I'm Gergana, and I joined the Software Engineering Graduate Program in 2022. I hold a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Glasgow. And I'm Michal and like Gergana, I also joined Skyscanner in 2022. I studied Software Engineering at the University of Sheffield. Gergana & Michal We first met during the Discovery Day while interviewing for our positions, and we're delighted to have continued our journey as colleagues. Both of us were equally excited and nervous about finding our place in the tech world. We're thrilled to share our experiences with you and offer a glimpse into the Graduate Program from our perspective. Sounds interesting? Keep on reading to find out how we found it! Tracing Our Journey To Skyscanner Gergana: I was in my second year of university when I decided that Skyscanner is a company I want to work for. I was aware that the culture there is very well aligned with the idea of the perfect workplace I had in my mind and the thought of working for a travel tech company was very exciting and motivating. So, I decide to apply for an internship. I got through the coding exercise step and the culture interview and I received the great news that I am invited to the final Discovery Day stage. It was all going just the way I wanted it. Unfortunately, it so happened that this same year COVID19 reached its peak, which as we all know, was particularly damaging for the travel industry, and as a consequence, the internship got cancelled. As much of a disappointing moment that was, I knew I would keep striving to be in a company like Skyscanner one day. And so it happened. During my final year at university I learnt that Skyscanner are opening their Graduate Program again and even though I already had an offer from another big corporation, I knew where I wanted to be. So, I took my chance and went for the positio ## Bits from the DPL DevFeed: [Bits from the DPL]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Jonathan Carter Published: 2024-04-02T17:00:00Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Bits from Debian]() Topics: [Debian]() Tags: [bits-from-the-dpl](), [communication](), [community](), [covid19](), [debconf](), [dpl](), [dpl-bits](), [election](), [resolutions](), [thefuture](), [transparency](), [usrmerge]() ### AI overview A Debian Project Leader reflects on the upcoming leadership transition and on shortcomings in communication and transparency during the previous term. The post also discusses community communication and how public discussion of spending related to donations. ### Source excerpt Dear Debianites This morning I decided to just start writing Bits from DPL and send whatever I have by 18:00 local time. Here it is, barely proof read, along with all it's warts and grammar mistakes! It's slightly long and doesn't contain any critical information, so if you're not in the mood, don't feel compelled to read it! Get ready for a new DPL! Soon, the voting period will start to elect our next DPL, and my time as DPL will come to an end. Reading the questions posted to the new candidates on debian-vote, it takes quite a bit of restraint to not answer all of them myself, I think I can see how that aspect contributed to me being reeled in to running for DPL! In total I've done so 5 times (the first time I ran, Sam was elected!). Good luck to both Andreas and Sruthi, our current DPL candidates! I've already started working on preparing handover, and there's multiple request from teams that have came in recently that will have to wait for the new term, so I hope they're both ready to hit the ground running! Things that I wish could have gone better Communication Recently, I saw a t-shirt that read: Adulthood is saying, 'But after this week things will slow down a bit' over and over until you die. I can relate! With every task, crisis or deadline that appears, I think that once this is over, I'll have some more breathing space to get back to non-urgent, but important tasks. "Bits from the DPL" was something I really wanted to get right this last term, and clearly failed spectacularly. I have two long Bits from the DPL drafts that I never finished, I tend to have prioritised problems of the day over communication. With all the hindsight I have, I'm not sure which is better to prioritise, I do rate communication and transparency very highly and this is really the top thing that I wish I could've done better over the last four years. On that note, thanks to people who provided me with some kind words when I've mentioned this to them before. They pointed out that th
