We sit down with Bara Votápková, a Senior QE engineer at Productboard, to explore the highs and lows of engineering, the blend of technical and interpersonal skills required, and how her personal journey reflects the collaborative culture at Productboard. This episode is packed with valuable insights on career growth, overcoming challenges, and how to thrive as a woman in tech.
Bara takes us through her inspiring journey from initially facing rejection after her first interview round at Productboard to later becoming a pivotal part of our engineering team.
She discusses how her unique background as a history student and her passion for continuous learning, helped her navigate the challenges of changing career paths and landing her first job in the tech industry.
She shares her insights on the importance of perseverance, the power of community, and why feeling not “good enough” should never stop you from pursuing your dreams.
