This past August, MongoDB sponsored the “AfroTech: Tech is Still Hiring Virtual Summit.” During this session, our leaders provided personal stories and insights about what a successful career in technology looks like.
MongoDB panelists included:
- Stephanie Samuels, Regional Director, Sales
- Tosin Ajayi, Sr. Manager, WW Solutions Architecture
- Wisdom Omuya, Engineering Director, Atlas Data Lake
The panel was moderated by Danielle James, Diversity and Inclusion Manager at MongoDB. Panelists shared actionable advice you can apply today, including how to build a roadmap for personal success, ways to bounce back from challenges, the importance of communicating your value, where to find support during your leadership journey, and more. Hear their thoughts:
What specific skills are required to become a leader in your field?
How do you handle tough feedback constructively?
How do you differentiate yourself from others?
How do you communicate the value of your work?
How do you bounce back from a mistake or conflict?
What should someone do if they believe they're ready for a promotion, but their manager feels otherwise?
How can someone prepare for MongoDB's technical interview?
What rituals have helped you accelerate your career?
What can people do today to help them have a successful career?
