Loving Your Job and Why it (Actually) Matters

We spend the majority of our week, our year, and our life at our jobs, yet many people become comfortable settling into jobs which they don't like. Jobs which don't excite them, seeking the majority of their happiness and enjoyment from the few hours outside of their working life. During my talk, I'll discuss reasons I see this happen so often, particularly for junior engineers and minorities, and how that can pull people away from their passions or away from tech. By using my own personal experiences, experiences of friends, and some fun facts, I'll help tackle why having a job that you love actually matters and how you can go about finding such a job.
