When Hali moved to Dublin to work for Facebook, it was her first time living outside of Nigeria. The transition was challenging, particularly as Hali wasn't moving alone. She also had her husband and three kids to think about.

I speak to Sade Omojowo, a Strategic Partner Manager at Instagram, about her experience moving from Facebook to Tiktok, and then back again to Facebook. This is what some people call a “career boomerang”.

Tracy Jasper, a people manager at Hubspot, talks about her experience transitioning from an individual contributor to a people manager in the tech industry.

I speak to my best friend, Marcelle Mbuyu, a Product Manager at Google, about how she pivoted from sales to her current role in product management.
