My dream heading into college was to be a diplomat and work for the US Department of State. Then I read up on the career trajectory and realized I would be stationed overseas for years without being able to see friends+family often. Glad I chose tech, but part of me ponders how different my life would be today.

I followed through on that dream and ten years in I’m pivoting to tech. It was a fun run but being away from friends and family was too much after awhile

Thank you! I did New Delhi, Islamabad, and now I’m in New York (UN). It really made me realize how much I love being back
