Pay It Forward: Alumni Edition

They made it. Now they're coming back for you.

Six months ago, they were in your seat — scrolling job boards, rewriting their LinkedIn for the hundredth time, wondering if their international experience would ever be enough.

Now they have the job. And they haven’t forgotten what it took to get there.

Pay It Forward: Alumni Edition brings SWB members who’ve successfully broken into tech back into the room — not to lecture, but to mentor. One-on-one. Real talk. No filter.

Speed Mentoring Format

You’ll rotate through quick, focused 1:1 sessions with SWB alumni working across various fields:

• Software Engineering
• Product
• Data
• Cybersecurity
• Cloud
• AI/ML
• UX
• QA
• DevOps
• And more!

Each session is short, so come prepared. Know what you want to ask. Make it count.

What You Can Expect to Talk About

• How they actually landed their role
• What they wish they’d done differently
• How to navigate the Canadian job market as a newcomer
• What’s really happening inside hiring processes right now

Open Networking to Close

We end the evening with open networking — alumni and newcomers mixing freely over food and drinks. This is where the real conversations happen.
