The MINDSET Behind a Successful Tech Intern | Emmanuel Sogelola, Security Engineer @ Twitch

In this episode of The Excited to Share Podcast, host Omar El Malak is joined by Emmanuel Sogelola, a new-grad Security Engineer at Twitch. Emmanuel shares his framework for how to consistently build strong software projects that attract recruiters’ attention, how to prepare for tech interviews, how to land internships in Canada and the US, how to pivot to different subdomains of engineering (frontend, backend, dev-ops, data, mobile, security), and how to ask good questions during an internship. WHAT IS THE EXCITED TO SHARE PODCAST? Hey! I'm Omar, a fourth-year computer science student at the University of Toronto, minoring in business and math. On The Excited to Share Podcast, I bring on interns and new grads at top companies to share their tips to get you from the classroom to your first "excited to share..." job announcement. If your dream role or company isn’t here yet, or if you or someone you know would like to be featured, drop me a message on LinkedIn or an email at omarelmalak28@gmail.com. I’ll make it happen.
