How has ISM benefitted Nivi Srinivasa?
"ISM helped me realize what I wanted my career to be much earlier than I would’ve before. It has honestly saved me years from making the wrong decision."
What was a challenge they faced and overcame?
"It was really difficult to find a mentor since I changed my topic in the middle of the year, but with networking and being proactive it all worked out."
Advice
"I would say take a chance and make sure your topic is something you can see yourself doing for the rest of your life. Make sure to branch out with your topic, because it’s okay to spend a year and realize maybe it’s not what you wanted and work towards what you actually want to do."
