On episode 10, we chat with Abid Chaudhry, a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Microsoft in Seattle, Washington. Within the first generation in his family to grow up in America from Pakistan and with little knowledge about college or careers, he decided to major in an area where he thought he could immediately find a job after graduating college. He and earned a degree in Finance from American University to pursue a career in banking. After coming to the realization that the banking industry was not the right fit for his outgoing, fun-loving personality, he transitioned into the small and medium business (SMB) space where he worked with companies in various cities including Toronto, Buenos Aries, Los Angeles, and Boston.
Abid shares how important becoming self-aware has been for him as it led him to discover that he has ADHD. Developing self-awareness also made it easier for him to determine which jobs are better suited for his personality and play to his strengths as well as how to advocate for new opportunities that further highlight his unique skillsets.
