Her Interview
Ten minutes with Rajni
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to passion. All the other stuff can be taught, you know, you can learn different things, you can go to school for certain things, but that drive, that hunger, that passion, either somebody has it or it's just not something that can be taught.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
To be curious, and to lean in. My motto is always, like, if it doesn't scare you, you shouldn't do it. Men do such a better job vouching for themselves. A woman will read a job description and be like, oh, well, I meet 3 of those qualifications, but not all 5. My advice is, you know, lean in and be bold.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The disruption of AI and being able to be agile and adapt your own skill set. The jobs that are present today will not be present because AI's gonna be able to do them as quickly as the next 3 to 5 years. It's both a positive and a cautionary thing.
