Q&A with Angeline Poh
If you could do it all over again, would you choose the same path for yourself? If not, what would you change?
Every step I have taken in my career journey so far has greatly enriched me both professionally and personally. So I would definitely choose the same path if I could do it all over again. Perhaps the 1 thing I would change in a do-over is to decide on each job transition more quickly. What I have learnt is that you must give yourself a chance when people are ready to take a chance on you.
