Annie opens up about the challenges of being a woman in male-dominated industries, and how a mentor made a difference. In this episode, Annie dives into MGA Thermal’s groundbreaking technology that uses aluminium phase-change to store thermal energy, addressing a critical gap in industrial decarbonisation. As both a migrant engineer and working mother, Annie offers valuable insights on building networks in a new country, negotiating fair compensation, and achieving work-life balance through hybrid work arrangements. You won’t want to miss her advice for young engineers, including her two guiding principles: know your engineering rules of thumb, and only say what it is kind and necessary. A must listen for engineers of all career stages.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RKvfXF9RobThMPctZPjdz5MoNIOXSJuk03SFk8LBopk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85YWI4/NjdiZDIxNWZiOGJk/ZDQ0YWNkNWMxMzE1/ZmFhMC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
