What was the biggest move you made in your career/schooling to become a successful software engineer here?

Ryan L. asked a question to Remi M.

My name is Ryan Lei, a student at Northwestern and an aspiring SWE intern at Nokia for the summer of 2025, and I wanted to know what was a big decision you made that lead to you having a successful career here. Hopefully, I can emulate some of that :)

Hi Ryan!
One of the biggest decisions I made was to stay curious, work hard, and remain open to learning, even while juggling part-time work and studies. Balancing these responsibilities helped me understand how technology impacts the real world and gave me valuable hands-on experience.My passion for technology and eagerness to explore new ideas prepared me for the dynamic challenges I now tackle at Nokia. My advice is to embrace opportunities to work on collaborative, impactful projects and to continuously learn - those experiences will set you up for success.
Best of luck with your aspirations for 2025!
