Episode three: Your host Sana's story


Summary & Key Points

This episode takes a deeper look at migrating to the UK via the route of studying at for an undergraduate degree and then getting a job right after university

Sana’s experience covers studying a liberal arts degree and then moving to a corporate job after university & navigating your first career post university

   

Challenges include figuring out your career independently at age 21, managing the switch between studying into working and sticking with a discipline for 10 years which overtime has become a passion

Key concepts include how long to stay in a role and job and the benefits of sticking with a role to learn and master it before you move onto a different role
Another idea explored is that of personal drive and where

Overtime this concept of personal drive has changed and become more organic and based on enjoyment of work, creating something unique and leaving a personal mark on the world


Quotes to remember

“Study what you enjoy at undergraduate level”

“Mock interviews are essential to securing that first job”

“After 10 years working, in the last 3 years I properly work up and enjoyed what I was doing”
