Does Niki spend most of her time in the jungle with a cute hat and a whip? Or is she actually excavating herself out from a pile of grant applications?
Does Huyen live in a hoodie and a dark room, illuminated by the green glow of her computer? Or is it really more meetings and getting people to write down what they're going to do as much as coding?
On this episode we talk more about what our jobs really are, what we like, what we like less, and what we think the future may be for future research scientists and software engineers.
In the future of this research scientist and software engineer? Perhaps a coffee date with a sparkly vampire named Elijah in Vienna?
