Journey to Microsoft with Henry Dai (hybrid)
Students who are not on Vancouver campus can join using teams as this will be an Hybrid event. Vancouver students are expected to me in-person!
Join us for an inspiring and candid conversation with Henry Dai, Software Engineer at Microsoft, as he shares his personal journey as an international student and moving into the tech industry.
Henry will walk us through his experience as an international student studying in Boston and graduating during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, navigating one of the most uncertain job markets in recent history. He’ll share the realities of adapting to a new country, building a professional network from scratch, securing his first role, and eventually making his way to Microsoft. Now based in Vancouver, Henry brings valuable insight into how resilience, strategy, and community helped shape his career.
This session is perfect for international students and aspiring tech professionals looking to hear real-world advice on overcoming barriers, adapting to change, and finding meaningful opportunities in the tech industry.
