Mapping out your career path in tech

If you were to map out the path of your career journey to date, what would it look like? Career paths are rarely linear in nature and much like the lines on a map, often take you somewhere you don't expect.

In this talk, I'll share my own meandering career path of how I got into tech following a career change from geology to developer, after learning how to code. I'll share tips on how to embrace your own superpowers to help you be bold and continue progressing in your career; regardless of where you are in your path!
