In this episode of Chai Chat she breaks down what that road actually looked like: the rejections, the interview prep, the imposter feeling, and the decisions that moved her forward.She also opens up about life after becoming a mom, how she protects her time, what she stopped doing, and how she keeps a demanding big tech role and a newborn in the same week without burning out.In this episode:How immigration reshaped her career planStudying and job hunting as an international studentLanding and surviving a role at AmazonWorking motherhood, boundaries, and daily systemsHer favorite book, The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli, and the mental models she uses from it.سمیرا ایران را با یک چمدان و یک نقشه ترک کرد. در کشوری تازه درس خواند، زبان و فرهنگ کاری جدیدی یاد گرفت و راهش را تا آمازون، یکی از بزرگ‌ترین شرکت‌های فناوری دنیا، باز کرد. در این قسمت از چای چت، او دقیقاً می‌گوید این مسیر چه شکلی بود: جواب‌های رد، آماده‌شدن برای مصاحبه‌ها، حس ناکافی‌بودن، و تصمیم‌هایی که او را جلو برد.سمیرا از زندگی بعد از مادر شدن هم می‌گوید، اینکه چطور از وقتش محافظت می‌کند، چه کارهایی را کنار گذاشت، و چطور یک شغل پرفشار در بیگ‌تک و یک نوزاد را در یک هفته کنار هم نگه می‌دارد بدون اینکه فرسوده شود.در این قسمت می‌شنوید:مهاجرت چطور نقشه شغلی او را عوض کرددرس خواندن و کار پیدا کردن به عنوان دانشجوی بین‌المللیراه یافتن به آمازون و دوام آوردن در آنمادری شاغل، مرزگذاری، و روتین‌های روزانهکتاب محبوبش، هنر شفاف اندیشیدن نوشته رولف دوبلی، و مدل‌های ذهنی که از آن استفاده می‌کندهر هفته یک قسمت تازه از چای چت. سابسکرایب کنید و زنگوله را بزنید تا هیچ قسمتی را از دست ندهید.#چای_چت #آمازون #مهاجرت #زنان_در_تکنولوژی #مادر_شاغل #مسیر_شغلی #پادکست_فارسی #هنر_شفاف_اندیشیدنNew episodes of Chai Chat every week.
