✦ When you first came to UCSD what was your intended industry of interest?
“UI/UX Design”
✦ How did DSP find/nurture your industry of interest?
“Before I joined DSP, I had no idea what product management was or how versatile the role was. Talking to so many different bros with experience in the industry helped me realize that my career interests and goals were more suited for a role in product management. Since I made the switch, DSP has been such a great support system, and I'm always reaching out to bros for resume help, interview prep, and networking advice. I used to always hear how product management is a career that is difficult to "break into", but DSP gave me the confidence to just go for it.”
✦ Any advice for prospects who are still exploring industries or having a hard time doing so?
“It's never too late to switch your intended industry. If you discover another career path more exciting or more aligned with your career goals, go for it. I recommend talking to anyone else you know who is pursuing that industry and asking what inspired their choice. You can even message a working professional on LinkedIn and ask about their day-to-day or qualities one should have to succeed in their respective roles.”
✦ Favorite Place Traveled?
“Honolulu, Hawaii”
