E64: 'Carving a unique career path' with Meenakshi S, Practice Head
Most of us become engineers and doctors because our parents wanted us to become one or our classmates chose to be one. Even when we build our career, we are mostly looking at others to build ours, instead of building our career on our unique skill set. Today I'm speaking with Meenakshi about building a unique career path depending on our skill set. Hope you enjoy the conversation.
