Guest Seminar - Career Development: A Basic Engineer Finds Satisfaction Amidst the Chaos and Anxiety of Her Career Path

Navigating career paths can be anxiety inducing and chaotic. In today's world, we have more information, more opportunities, and more wealth, but the challenges of building a satisfying career seem even greater than before. While I cannot promise a solution to all your questions, I can offer my experiences: How did I transition from an anxious engineer who didn't know what I wanted, to someone who still doesn't know what the 'right move' is but has job satisfaction, and can set up manageable career goals? Hint: the answer for me was not "find your passion". In my search for the "right career", I have tried management consulting, self-employment as a wedding planner; I've explored patent law, been a research scientist at a startup, and a startup co-founder; now I am here. I look forward to sharing my journey with you, and discussing any questions you might have for me.
