Скачать или смотреть BIG TECH vs. BIGLAW | Conversation with Jenny Wood, Google exec-turned-author

Surprise (episode)! I talk to Jenny Wood about our workplace anxieties—am I too weird? too bossy? too shameless when I promote my work? or gulp manipulative when I fake run-ins with my bosses?—and how she overcame them during her 18-year tenure at Google, where she went from an entry-level employee to an executive who ran a team that helped drive tens of billions of dollars in revenue. We go into specific advice about internal and external networking, knowing when to leave a role/company, how to figure out who you really need to impress, and more—all while comparing and contrasting our respective experiences in Big Tech vs. Biglaw.
