Becoming a Pathfinder in Tech with Emily Kager

For today’s episode we’re going to go off the beaten path a bit. We’re joined by Emily Kager, a Senior Android Engineer at Uber, to talk about the seemingly endless ways into tech. Emily found her way to mobile, a space that Corey self admittedly knows little about. Thankfully through content creators like Emily, he is becoming as erudite as the next. Emily’s diverse background and self determination serve as excellent example of how to carve you way into tech, how to do so successfully, and then sharing that with others. Emily discusses her motivations for building out her TikTok as as space to shine the light on the endless ways into tech. Emily and Corey chat about Emily’s own unique way into the field. Emily was adrift for a short period of time after school, where she realized she felt “lukewarm” about a path in medicine. So, she leveled some wisdom and ended up exploring other options. Now she has a masters and is an active member of the tech community!
