Join Madeline as she sits down with Wendy Cartagena, a Tech Business Analyst and Founder at Invested Millennial. In this episode, Wendy (UCLA ‘16) shares how she landed her first job in tech, how she leveled up her career through strong networking and communication skills, and what skills and experience young women need to break into the tech industry (hint: it’s not just software engineering and STEM backgrounds). We talk about what Wendy learned from her internship at the United Nations and State Department and why she decided to launch her career in the tech industry. Wendy gives us an inside look into what it’s like working at one of the most innovative companies in the world. She tells us about her role as a Business Analyst and walks us through other non-technical roles in the tech industry. Wendy is also the Founder of Invested Millennial, a platform empowering women to learn about personal finance and investing. Wendy explains why building a business and investing your money can help you achieve financial independence (and why that is important!). We also talk about the personal finance and investing advice that every young woman needs to know, and Wendy shares her top financial resources (books, apps, etc.) to help you get started with your financial goals.
