The Road to Success is Non-Linear (Mentoring Session with Young Professionals & Women-In-Circuits at CICC)
Unique non-linearities exist in circuits and in Nature. Career trajectories and paths to success are no different and are generally unique to each individual. In this brief exposé, Dr. Farhana Sheikh shares the circuitous road to achieving her own version of success and share some key learnings from a career that has spanned 20+ years: from systems to software, software to circuits, and circuits to systems. Journeys such as this one are both exciting and challenging, while being completely instructive.
