Curiosity Drive or Why I Moved from the US to Finland

In today's episode, we talk with product designer Ross Langley about the feeling of belonging. We talk about change — whether it's changing your career path or moving to another country. Ross walks us through the practicalities of relocation. About different working cultures, in Finland and the US. About dealing with the pandemic, impostor syndrome, and difficult clients. Ross opens up about his experience of burn-out and how he recovered from it. We know that it's common for people in the tech industry to move places for work, so we hope Ross' story will help you.
