Software Engineering, Job Transitions, Company Culture ft Angelina Quach | Tech Girl Thursdays Ep 22

Welcome to the twenty second episode of my new series about women in tech! In this Thursday's episode, I talk with Angelina Quach, who is currently at Amazon working as a Software Engineer. We discuss her journey into the tech field (from studying mechanical engineering to biology to CS at Cal Poly SLO), some of her previous jobs and what she's learned from them, the importance of company culture, her experiences with imposter syndrome and how she reframes/rewrites the narrative, actionable things to support women in tech, and more.

ABOUT TECH GIRL THURSDAYS:
I'm releasing a new series where I have been having conversations with women in tech, where everyone has different backgrounds, roles, journeys, experiences, and are at different stages in their career/school. Women belong in tech too, and these are just a few stories of the women working behind the scenes and pursuing different tech roles.

Make sure to subscribe for more advice, technology/data science, and women in tech lifestyle related videos! New video every Sunday and new episodes of the Tech Girl Thursdays series will be released on Thursdays :)
