Young people in emerging markets are struggling to land digital jobs...

« My dream is to become an inspiring leader and the CTO at my own enterprise, guided by the most successful entrepreneurs in the world »

ASPIRING ENTREPRENEUR

STUDENT

« Embracing failure is the most important trait I've developed in my career. I have tried to learn from my failures and I believe it has made me stronger, more confident and more resilient. »

RESHMA SAUJANI, CEO AND FOUNDER OF GIRLS WHO CODE

« We develop people by giving them the opportunity to develop themselves, by surrounding them with big challenges to work on. Mediocre colleagues or unchallenging work is what kills progress of a person’s skills. »

PATTY MCCORD, HEAD OF TALENT AT NETFLIX

« There’s no need even to have a college degree at all, or even high school. Educational background is irrelevant (to be hired at Tesla AI unit). However all candidates must pass hardcore coding test. »
