Theme of the Discussion: Strategizing Your Career in the "New Normal"
Abstract of the Discussion: IEEE ComSoc YP presents the panel of speakers for young professionals where the panelists will talk about industry and academic work culture in the "new normal". We will discuss how young professionals, starting a career in the "new normal", can strategize different aspects of professional life such as : choosing best productive home-office, preparing for online meetings, compensating for "in-person" interactions, achieving work-life balance. We provide an open platform to the audience for both their generic and specific questions to a diverse set of panelists.
