Session: Career pivot - a leap into Applied ML Research
It’s never too late to pivot in your careerI’m perhaps the poster child of complete shift in career direction.
I spent most of my career in top-tier investment banks. Then Onfido took a chance on me… I joined Applied Science as an intern (!)
I recently got promoted. So my suggestion - follow your heart, don’t look back. Take a single leap of faith towards your dream, and you’ll find the Universe sends support along the way.
