Techqueria x Slack x Salesforce: Future-Proofing Your Career πŸš€

Slack hosted Techqueria at Salesforce Tower for a fireside chat on job-seeking strategies, career transitions, and AI's impact on every role β€” plus cake pops from a local Latino-owned bakery.

Techqueria x Slack x Salesforce: Future-Proofing Your Career πŸš€

Slack hosted Techqueria at Salesforce Tower in San Francisco and it was a night worth celebrating β€” five years in total at Slack, and this kind of event is exactly why I stay.

The fireside chat was moderated by M. Cristina Pullen (Senior Technical Writer, Salesforce) with panelists Monica Scott (Salesforce Talent Advisor) and Raquel VΓ©lez (Senior Engineering Manager, Slack). The conversation centered on job-seeking strategies and career transitions, but the through-line was something bigger: future-proofing your career given that every single role is being rapidly transformed and reshaped by AI.

Attendees left with practical advice on resumes, pivots, and how to position yourself when the rules keep changing. Plus cake pops from a local Latino-owned bakery and plenty of Techqueria, Fuego, and Latinoforce swag.

Grateful to be part of events that bring together community, career development, and real conversations about what's ahead for Latinx professionals in tech.
