I cry, panic that I'll never be hireable, consider switching to a different industry because I'm clearly not good enough, and then apply for something else that is infinitely better and it works out. Do that three times in a row and that's been my career in advertising. It always works out. We work in a people business and I've learned that if I don't have confidence in myself, no one else will.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
