On this episode of Humanizing Tech, we demystify career transitions to the Tech Industry.

In addition to being an Alchemy Code Lab grad and Software Engineer, Noah Puckett (they/them) leads the Accessibility Employee Resource Group (ERG) at New Relic.

We explore how neurodivergent perspectives can question and challenge the insularity of traditional workplaces. From making sense of nonsensical job descriptions and navigating corporate vagueness as a new hire, to applying the lens of mental health with intersectional solidarity - there’s no question that accessibility in the tech industry elevates a collective employee experience.

Tune in for some accessible tips if you’re anticipating new work environments, if you’re coping with the ongoing uncertainties that come with working in tech, and for avoiding burnout if you’re currently involved in organizational DEI work.
