As she prepares to graduate from the National University of Singapore in 2025, Tricia reflects on her choice with no regrets.
In an industry often dominated by the allure of prestigious tech giants, Tricia's decision highlights a growing trend among students who prioritize work-life balance and meaningful experiences over the hustle culture associated with high-profile jobs. By starting small, she believes she can gain practical skills and a deeper understanding of the software landscape, which will serve her well in her future career.
Tricia's journey emphasizes the importance of personal fulfillment and the value of diverse career paths in the tech sector. As she embarks on this new chapter, she hopes to inspire her peers to consider alternatives to the traditional tech career trajectory.
