Birds of a Feather (BoF) with SVS and Sirtaj
About the Event
Feeling stuck in your engineering career? Not sure if you should double down as an IC or move toward management? Join us at the One2N office for a relaxed Birds of a Feather session with Siddharth Sharma (SVS) (ex-CTO at Shaadi.com, ex-CTO at InVideo) and Sirtaj Singh Kang (founding member of the KDE project, Staff Engineer at One2N). The session will be moderated by Chinmay Naik (CEO at One2N).
This is a casual AMA and open conversation. Come with your questions, stories, and opinions. Think of it like a hallway chat that actually helps you move forward.

How to get the most out of it
