In today's episode, host Gil Hsu sits down with Julian Jurai, a former oil drilling engineer from Trinidad who made the switch to software development. Despite studying Mechanical Engineering to join the island’s Oil and Gas industry, Julian found himself seeking new opportunities when oil prices crashed in the mid-2010s. Eventually in 2017, Julian took a leap and moved to New York City to pursue software engineering and within six months, he landed a role at a top technology company. Since then, he’s thrived as a software developer and says that his new career has given him the fulfilling life he always wanted inside and out of work. Join us as we discuss the excitement of taking morning runs on an oil rig in the ocean, the benefits of remote work and why being spoiled in tech isn’t ideal in today’s technology market. Julian’s story is one you won’t want to miss. Stay tuned!
