Topic Overview
While many students spend years preparing to land their first job, very few are prepared for what comes next — navigating real workplace dynamics, expectations, and growth paths.
This panel brings together women across engineering, product, and AI to share honest, practical insights on what early career really looks like — and how to adapt, grow, and thrive in your first role.
