In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I am joined by Carla Santamaria, a formerly undocumented Honduran immigrant who more than doubled her salary in 10 months by job hopping from higher ed to healthcare to tech. We discuss the challenges and strategies for transitioning careers, the importance of networking, mindset shifts, and the intricacies of navigating new professional environments.
