There’s a growing demand for STEM jobs, yet so many capable people still feel like they don’t “fit” in that world. The truth is, STEM needs diverse thinkers, late bloomers, and those willing to learn at their own pace. It’s not just about being brilliant—it’s about being consistent and open to growth. Everyone’s entry point looks different, and that’s perfectly valid. Do you see yourself in a STEM role someday, or does something still hold you back?

It's the capitalised STEM three times that makes me laugh 😂

I am not in STEM, but I have two daughters who have engineering degrees, and work in manufacturing. They both comment on the lack of diversity in their professions, and the boldly “MAGA” viewpoints, often loudly voiced in their workplaces.

I am product designer with a fair amount of experience (6yrs).

Recently was interviewed for a Sr. role in Booking but unfortunately the team finds me better suited as a core individual contributor.

I am also in the advanced stages of some lead designer positions in other companies.

However I am really interested in joining the team at Booking, especially because of the design culture.

What should be my reasons to accept or not accept the offer from booking?
