Diversify Tech #368

Hi! Welcome to Diversify Tech's Professional Edition. This newsletter is for underrepresented people in tech; specifically curated for mid-senior level folks. Every Tuesday, we share jobs, events, and other career opportunities.

Here's what we've got for you this week:
💼 CVS, Quora and more are hiring
📆 The Walkout, a free online 2-day experience for UX professionals interested in building a life and career outside of corporate without regret, guilt, or starting from scratch. Coming in January.

🎄 Holiday Update: This is our last newsletter of 2025! We're stepping away to recharge and will see you in 2026.

🙏 I have a small ask: Did you land a job, receive a scholarship, or get a speaking opportunity through something we shared in the newsletter this year? Nothing makes me happier than hearing your success stories. Just hit reply and tell me all about it. I read every single response.

Thank you so much for continuing to be a part of our community. Wishing you a restful, joyful holiday season. See you next year!

Cheers,
Veni Kunche
