I wanted to get a little more personal and talk about my career so far. I'll be doing this across a few articles so please subscribe to stay in the loop! Looking back and reflecting on what I've done, I realise I've achieved a lot yet I'm still only ...

I bet that interviewer is out there somewhere cursing C# for spoiling him as he fights with Python to get a simple temperature plot on a webpage working 🤔

Great story thanks for sharing. These type of stories are so inspiring Katy A.

Awesome article, I really enjoy looking at people from different backgrounds approaching tech from different directions. Thank you for sharing :)

Thanks for sharing. I also studied physics Electronics at school trying to switch careers at the moment. Pray it works out well for me

Awesome story Katy. Being a physics graduate is no easy feat. 💯💯

Thanks for sharing your journey. I was a EE major in undergrad, and I'm currently specializing in signal processing (in my Master's). And I could best resonate with Fourier analysis. Look forward to reading your subsequent posts on how the last 4 years have been.

This is so inspiring! Bravo girl!!

this is honestly so inspiring, thank you for sharing it 💕🥺

Great story Katy!

I like how you've basically kept applying for roles and getting interviews. Bringing a lot of your core skills into your interviews i.e. communication, being able to comfortably handle whiteboard problems, presenting and I suspect being able to interview well in general.

Sounds like you've had your challenges but overcame those with the right attitude and determination.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks James! I will say I definitely was not great at those things although I did get quite a lot of presentation experience at uni, although I always hated it. However now I'd say I'm comfortable presenting, working full time I've had countless opportunities and now I'd feel a lot less worried, at the time it was always a huge deal for me. I did persevere though in probably a naive way, and did eventually get my first role which is obviously the most important thing to get your foot in the door.

so proud of you Katy! I am an electrical engineering minor and I loved seeing some things that I'm studying here 😂

Thank you Yosra! Now I'm looking back I'm proud of myself too! ☺️ Oh cool what stuff are you studying?

Katy A Fourier analysis 😭 I also built a robot like you did for school and a smart house but I used an arduino not matlab. I use matlab for studying signals and stuff (i actually have a matlab project due next week 😭)

Anyway, honestly reading your journey is very inspiring 💕

Yosra Emad that's so cool! I'm glad you're inspired - you are definitely going to do great things too and I hope I can be proof of that!
