Especially during such unprecedented times, it can be hard to think about career growth and where I want to be professionally in the next month, let alone next year or five-ten years down the line. I've worked for SoundCloud for almost four years now, and over the course of the past four years I've had four different managers, held three different roles, been promoted three times, and now can proudly say I'm now a Vice President at this ever evolving company. I'm excited to join you, live, and answer your questions about how to find clarity and authenticity at a growing startup while taking your career to the next level!
In this chat, I'll share:
- How I stay grounded in an ever shifting environment
- How I navigate new managers and leadership
- How I'm growing my career through this evolution
