Why is being different actually a good thing? – My Way Into Tech

Feli Bernutz

I've been working in IT for about seven years now, but especially at the beginning of my career I was troubled by self-doubt and imposter syndrome. How do I fit in? This is probably the question most employees ask themselves when they start a new job. It took me some time to understand that it is actually good to be different from everyone else and not try to fit in. In this 20-minute lightning talk, I share my personal story about my experiences, my journey and my challenges and how I finally found my place in the tech industry because I didn't try to be like everyone else.
