A talk I gave to young computer science students. I enjoyed putting this together - reminiscing on my experiences on the changing world of tech & work. The main Idea being conveyed here is that the 'entrepreneurial mindset' can be applied in any field - whether in a 'corporate' job or even as students! I had fun sharing anecdotes from my own work experiences and what I saw in my 'entrepreneurial colleagues' in the companies I've been fortunate to be a part of.
