Progress in data careers doesn’t have to mean management!

In this episode, Karen speaks with Niruta Talwekar, Staff Data Engineer,  about carving out a fulfilling career on the technical track — and why progress doesn’t always look like a new job title.

 

Niruta shares her perspective on:

  • Why a technical career path could be a better option for many data professionals
  • Why slow title changes don’t mean stagnation — true progress comes from building expertise and impact
  • The importance of having more visible technical leaders
  • How visibility and recognition strengthen credibility as a technical leader
  • The underrated role of patience in career growth — trusting that skills compound over time
  •  

    The best piece of career advice she ever received: it’s not only about how you see yourself, but how you help others see you.

     

    Whether you’re an aspiring data professional, or an experienced IC wondering what your career could look like, this episode is packed with insights to help you define success on your own terms.
