When you are at the start of your career, you will definitely find yourself feeling very overwhelmed with the amount of things you'll have to learn and work yourself around. Its normal to feel this way as you are out of your comfort zone. In order for you to grow, you'll need to be in these situations. Always remember that this is temporary and you'll get through this! Never give up on yourself. Don't be afraid to voice out if you find anything that can be improved and made more comprehensive. Be confident and work smart.

The most important thing I have learned in my career by far, is to be open-minded and have a growth mindset. When I first started as a data science engineer, I was obsessed with the idea that I need to be working on those fancy ideas that allows me to apply the cutting-edge data science technologies, and I would be demotivated when assigned to other tasks like data engineering. Gradually, I found that actually all my experiences, no matter how big or small, will make me unique and become useful at some point in time. For example, if I did not have hands-on experiences on the data engineering tasks in the beginning, I would not be able to lead my team and give them good guidance. So my top advice is to be open, positive, and embrace the growth mindset!

Looking back on my journey, from event management and corporate communication to leading talent branding campaigns across the APAC region, the key advice definitely be, "Success is not about achieving titles, or making whatnot, its about the challenges that you have to go through and the how you embrace it will make you and build you to be better than today."
