The product field has been making great strides in recent years. 🚀 With the growing demand for these professionals, salaries are also rising, high. Hiring in Portugal is now as expensive as hiring in many European countries. The simple reason for this: taxes. Over the last decade, countries like Dubai have emerged as opportunities to earn a better salary, maintain or even improve quality of life, and start saving for early retirement—the well-known FIRE movement. In 2021, Rebeca Oram de Assunção received an invitation from Emirates to, quite literally, take off to new horizons. She packed her bags to Dubai first and to Saudi Arabia after, where she is now a Product Manager at NEOM, focused on building the "land of the future." In this conversation, we talk about career, money, lifestyle, and the formula for continuing to grow toward what we want for ourselves, without ever compromising our values.

She co-founded Portuguese Women in Tech because she was tired of only seeing men at Tech events. She founded Women. Business because it was hard to connect with other female founders.

The highs and lows, with no sugar-coating. If you also want to understand more about a different career path and potential opportunities in emerging ecosystems like Women Health, this is the right episode for you.

Quando mudei para IT em 2017 fui a todos os eventos presenciais que encontrava. Nessa altura ainda não sabia que Tecnologia ia ser de longe a melhor área profissional para trabalhar, que pagava salários de 6 dígitos ou que poderia viajar por 30 países enquanto entregava valor a partir de um portátil. Não valia a pena terem-me dito, eu não ia acreditar. Este mês marca 7 anos da minha jornada em IT. Este mês acontece o Evento Presencial da empresa que fundei para ajudar profissionais de IT a entregar mais valor às empresas e a ganharem mais com isso - mais tempo, mais dinheiro e mais qualidade de vida. O Evento Presencial da tekya.io acontece já este Sábado, dia 28. Quem estiver presente vai (mesmo) acreditar que a sua jornada profissional pode ser muito melhor do que alguma vez imaginou. E por consequência, a sua vida também! Vemo-nos lá? 🙌 Últimos bilhetes ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gZiFFJMc
