Hi Twitter, My name is Sidney Miller, A human, a Mom, and I need a new job. I have done many things, but what I am most proud of is my work at GitHub. The best place I have worked at by far. I will be pasting that section of my resume to my twitter feed. Yes I’m nervous
I get to build an InfoSec team. Hot damn. Who wants in ?!?! Positions not released quite yet but if you are looking and want to work with us...DM me! RT: this is all types of roles. Pen Test, Enterprise Sec Architects etc. ✌️❤️
I have a Principal Software Engineer role open. If you want to solve the things for Authentication using Go, work with the power of K8S and build cool shit? Im your gal. RT to all your friends!
My Director went off mute in a meeting, clarified the work she was getting credit for is mine vs hers. in front of leadership. She did not have to do that. She is the ONLY one in my career that has ever made that effort. This is what being seen is. 🙌❤️

Sitting outside of my family home of 43 years.. crying my face off. Dad has moved to a permanent living facility and I am here to pick up the last of the things he is taking with him. This is harder than I thought. Send me strength.
Thinking. Should I open an agency… where I represent tech talent.. advocate for and negotiate on behalf of.. and close the deal with your need s fully met..should I do that??
My husband just sent a resignation letter to his team to begin homeschooling our children due to Covid-19 mandated school closures. I didn’t even have to ask. He said “this is your time babe, go crush your kick ass role with

@Equinix
granted the entire company Monday & Tuesday off for World Mental Health Days. It does not affect our PTO. The ENTIRE company. What did your employer do for you this week?
Captains Log: day who knows since Moms died of Covid. I’m so sad. I miss her. I just had the best review of my career. The one I’ve always wanted. I couldn’t call her, she knew how important that was for me. That’s all. I’m just a little girl that misses her Moms.
I’ve reviewed over 300 resumes in the last 24 hours, looked at each one AND responded to each one accordingly. There is still integrity in recruiting. Not everyone is using AI.
This is my big brother Jared. He lives with a rare condition he’s 1/36 people in the world have it. He’s in the ER and fighting. Could use all the positive vibes for him in his fight. Pray for us
I am crying as I type this. Today I said goodbye to
@equinixmetal
in our all hands. This Friday is my last day at
@Equinix
and although I am super excited about my next adventure... I am so sad to leave this amazing company and all my dear friends.. Thank you for everything.❤️
Captain’s Log. 407 days since Covid killed my Mom. We are finally ready to write her obituary. I volunteered to do it. Wrap me in support y’all. This is going to be one of the hardest things I have ever done. ✌️❤️🦞🙏
In my new role I get to create a talent process from scratch. That will be rooted in INCLUSION and integrity. Tell me what you would change in the recruiting process if you could. RT for coverage and DMs are open if you want to share privately. ✌️❤️
Captains Log: Day 446 since Covid killed my Mom. We are distributing her ashes today. Send me strength. This is going to be one of the hardest days of my life. Tell people you love them today ❤️
My daughter was hit by a line drive and it broke her cheekbone in the softball game yesterday. Send good vibes. She’s realeased from hospital and we are home and on the mend. Need those vibes
JOB ALERT! Come work with me at
@AtomicJarInc
@testcontainers
!!! We have roles slated for FullStack Engineers and SRE's. This is global and remote first. We focus on Dev-first Integration Testing - Lets do this! RT for coverage!!
I’m proud to announce that my daughter came out and gave me permission to share it with you all. 🎉 I’m so fucking proud of her. Love you so much Roast.
HOLY SHIT! The therapies worked!!! My Mom “is over the Covid virus” “it has left, no evidence.” Oxygen long term but OMG MIRACLES. She comes home tomorrow. HOLY SHIT!
🚨Hi my name is Sidney - I am asking for your help. I was part of a RIF Friday and I am looking for my next amazing role. I am a force at hiring high level Engineering Talent but mostly, I work hard to place those from marginalized populations successfully.
Yes. I am confirming outloud in public I have burnout and diagnosed PTSD at the hand of others in tech. Mostly from female leaders that took my voice and stole my work. I am grateful that I have the strength to set that shit on fire now. YOU can too. Believe it. You can ❤️
9 years ago today... I was pregnant with twins (not knowing they would come a month early).. Think about that. At one time in space...I had 3 hearts, 30 fingers and 30 toes. 6 eyes and 6 ears. Don't forget 3 heads. Whats your superpower?
I’m calling in a huge favor of all of you. Please send al you got to my mom. She’s fighting. Covid is winning. I need all the good vibes prayers, hell yas and anything you got for her. Fight Mom. Fight
Dear Imposters Syndrome: I was just called by a super heavy hitter “The Most Technical Recruiter in the World”. I’m here to say you can go away now. I will remain humble and kind AND a beast in talent. Go away and dont come back OK? Beat it, Sidney
Captains Log: Day 298 since Covid killed my Mom. Twin A and Twin B both had massive break downs missing her at separate times within an hour of each other last night. It broke me wide open and I freaked the fuck out. Uncontrollable sadness. This is Covid. I hate you Covid
Someone told me that my comments here make me unemployable. Well, sorry to tell you frankly... if I am deemed unemployable by someone... thats because they know accountability to bullshit hiring is imminent with me. They are afraid of change. Here comes big bad scary Sidney 💪
I have so many things to say about a certain topic. But here’s what I know. I, along with some of the most amazing Hiring Managers in Tech, built a little org that was sold for 7+B dollars. WE did. Not someone in a higher tax bracket. That’s all I have to say about that.
My heart goes out to everyone looking for a job right now and struggling to find something. When I was coming up in the early 2000s, in Atlanta, I only had to apply to like 2 or 3 jobs a week, and even with a basic skillset interviews quickly followed.
This job market is totally
One upon a time.. I was interviewed for a fashion magazine. My bestie sent me this today and I thought it was a cool pic. I never post things like this but YOLO
Covid update: Mom had emergency heart surgery yesterday due to complications from her Covid of fluid/blood on the heart. In other words her heart is leaking. This is Covid. She is alone. Again. Heart surgery. Fucking sucks
Thinking about those affected by layoffs this am. Being RIF'd 2 x in one year I hit a wall and took it personally. Total mind fuck. If anyone wants to connect to work on their resume hit me up. I want to help. ❤️ DM's open
Heading back to work today

@Equinix
. I have to publicly say that in the last 21 years of being kicked when I’m down in big tech, this company showed up for me big time when Mom passed of COVID-19. I can not express enough gratitude for the outpouring of support
I get so giddy every time that a candidate brings up GitHub Actions. Makes me feel like a proud Mamma. I will never forget that meeting where I was told we needed to build that team....and holy shit we did. Was one of my cool accomplishments in my career.

Dear Mom,
Today is the 2nd anniversary of Covid killing you. We weren’t finished with all we had planned together. It took you from us so fast. It’s hard to believe. Even now. You are so loved. ❤️
I miss you so much.
Love forever and always,
Sidney
Happy 1 year anniversary to me. I have broken so many glass ceilings, have annihilated wage gap inequity, stood up for Trans rights/benefits and blew up everything that ya'll thought was impossible in inclusion. Just wait 2021. Im coming for you.✌️❤️

Wuuuuut: Dudes thinking I’m going to put up with mansplaining and gaslighting on how/why I need to consider their 3rd party recruiting company bc: “kubernetes engineers do not just fall from the sky Sidney, I’m sure you can use my help”. Um. Know your audience people..
Grief is so weird. I just hugged and kissed a black box full of ashes for 20 mins crying. A cardboard black box... Somehow it was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve had in almost 4 months. Moms still making impact even though she’s gone. I hate you Covid
I lost you 365 days ago… it still cuts my knees out from under me. It hurts this much because you loved me so hard and I matched that with the same intensity. I’ve never met anyone with a more accepting heart. No one. You taught me how to be me…
Who wants a friendship bracelet!!!??? I’ll make you one and ship it! I want to see how many people connect through this project. I will post pics and tag you!
