There was anxiety but I was more excited to join one of the top Computer Science programs in the country.
Admittedly, I was aiming to land an internship at a more prestigious company (such as Microsoft or IBM, at the time). However, I ended up in India, working for Infosys.
It was clear that I wanted to gain more international experience, again. A not-so-usual opportunity came and there I was in Sweden. (How to got the scholarship to go there was a story in itself.)
I was conditioned, by family and by my peers and by the society (Vietnam), to have a PhD ...
This is so far the defining moment in my professional development. Since joining Ayo, I have transformed from an academic-minded person into a business-minded person, equipped with technical skills.
Happily got married ...
