Life in STEM
Silicon Valley Robotics Engineer
Burnout, egos, and imposter syndrome. Being in STEM isn't always what it's made out to be. In this podcast, a Silicon Valley Robotics Engineer discusses the dark sides of STEM, the miconceptions people usually have about people in STEM, and the sacrifices made on this often gruling career path. Have you ever thought you wanted to be in STEM, only to find out that you didn't? Sure coding can be fun, until you do it for 8-10 hours a day, have a hunched-over back at 30, and have the pressure of having to solve problems you've been stuck on for weeks in order to meet a deadline. How would you go about a career pivot?On the contrary, perhaps you thoroughly enjoy your STEM career, but you're 30 and don't have the desire or personal skills to hold down meaningful relationships. Regardless of your situation, in this podcast you will learn lots through my experiences as a STEM engineer in the most STEM part of the world.
