I entered the job market when I was a graduate student at Dhaka University and have switched jobs many times since then. What I found kept me going are the hard skills and knowledge I acquired in Bangladeshi and American universities, but also some other softer skills including writing, critical thinking, and a curious mind. What does that tell the younger minds of today? The answer is: Get a good education, invest in some solid technical training, keep an open mind about new frontiers, and be a life-long learner.
