If you’ve ever felt pressure to “stick with” a major or career choice, this episode will give you a WHOLE new perspective! Astha Mehta came to the U.S. from India planning to study neuroscience, but along the way discovered her interest in cognitive science and machine learning. Since then, she’s worked as a data scientist, machine learning engineer, and now builds AI-powered apps at Bain & Company!
In our conversation, we talk about what it’s really like to change directions, how she adjusted to a new country as an international student, and the surprising differences between data science, machine learning, and AI engineering. Astha’s story is proof that you don’t need to have everything figured out early and that trying new things can lead you EXACTLY where you’re meant to be.
