The Careers Department was delighted to host Ms Shradha Budhiraja, a reception parent and engineering director at Monzo Bank and hear about her career in tech. Ms Budhiraja described her education and undergraduate degree in India, and the reasons she chose to study for her Masters degree in Computer Science at Stanford in the USA. She then outlined her working career with Adobe and Meta, initially developing software products and moving up to managing teams of engineers. Now at Monzo, she enjoys mentoring her team of software engineers who are responsible for an aspect of the bank’s business operations. Ms Budhiraja reflected on how, as her career progressed, it became more important that her employer’s values aligned with her own and advised students to consider what their own values are as they make moves towards the workplace.
