Resume Reviews
Among the ways I like to give back is through resume reviews for lower-year engineering students. A mentee of mine (Daniel Puratich, https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-puratich/) and I put together a guide of tips for their resume that helped people we know get offers at places like Google, Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, and many, many more ridiculously cool companies.
https://tinyurl.com/SahilDanielResumeGuide has a resume guide published by us - suggestions and comments are always welcome from anyone reading :)
Applying to Jobs
By popular demand, we also made an application guide with more abstract advice about maintaining a LinkedIn and growing your network organically to take advantage of the hidden job market. It's intended to be a companion to our resume guide - check it out here!

Interview Question Bank
A while back, when me and my friends in my class were wee-little first years, we decided to start compiling interview questions inside a question bank. It has grown a lot over the years with contributions from many different people in various industries (something I love about Tron - there's a lot of diversity in my friend's professional knowledge bases, and questions about an unfamiliar topic are a quick text message away).
http://tinyurl.com/LooInterviewQuestionBank - I only ask that if you use the bank you contribute 1 or 2 questions in return :)
I also wrote an embedded question bank that is aimed for embedded software/firmware internships: http://tinyurl.com/SahilEmbeddedQuestionBank
The backstory
Something I'm very passionate about is giving back through mentorship and teaching. I find the act of teaching people and watching them 'get it' to be exhilarating. Watching people grow through their journeys as developing engineers is also incredibly satisfying, and I hope that I can offer my knowledge as I go through my journey as a developing engineer to help uplift those around me. But this demands a whole other post about why I think people should mentor others :)
