Respect their time with a focused agenda: - Minutes 0-3: Express gratitude and share your 30-second context. - Minutes 3-10: Ask 2 targeted questions about their team's architecture or engineering culture. - Minutes 10-15: Ask: "Is there anyone else on your team you recommend I chat with?"
Identify your exact skill gaps and follow a milestone-by-milestone curriculum tailored to your target engineering track.
Never ask during the initial chat. If the conversation goes well, follow up 3 days later thanking them and mentioning a specific open role on their team.
