TALK 2 - Boosting your tech career
In this talk we're going to discuss some of the strategies that helped me boost my career in technology, After changing fields from Oceanography to Software Developer then later also a change of countries, I had to deal with a lot of insecurities, unknowns and navigate a world that was brand new to me. Seven years later, I look back on what helped me go through all that.
