and other questions

Should I switch careers? How can I break into tech? Should I get an MBA?

If you’ve ever wanted to ask me any of these questions, Eline de Wit, founder of MOXIE and host of MOXIEPOD, asked me all of these and more on a recent episode of her podcast.

Eline started her career in consulting before transitioning to tech, and is now an entrepreneur helping women grow their careers and confidence. She and I worked in similar operator roles in tech, and she’s someone I immediately connected with even before this conversation.

Highly recommend giving this one a listen, especially if you’re navigating a career crossroads right now.

We covered:

• How to know when it's the right time to pivot your career

• Practical tips for transitioning into tech without a tech background

• Specific roles in tech that are great entry points for career pivoters

• Negotiation strategies for women, and how to effectively advocate for yourself

• The real value of an MBA: How to decide if it’s right for you

• Overcoming the fear of job-hopping and framing your career story effectively
