Lookahead's 2020

It was a tough year but one that we'll look back on fondly. We've learned things about ourselves and changed habits for the better. Everyone had their own unique experience but we're grateful to be in Australia, doubly so to be working in technology.

Community

“Although I’m not coding on a daily basis, I’ve really enjoyed meeting developers and chatting with them. Having that technical background definitely helps me understand what developers and companies are after. I’ve also spent a lot of time giving people general advice on job searching and resume writing. They really appreciate that.”
