How I Got Hired
61: Pragya Mishra: Fashion Design in Delhi to SAAS Marketing in Denmark!
Show Notes

“It was May 2019. I made the biggest decision of my life. I left my super comfortable job at Reebok, packed my life in 4 suitcases and moved across the globe to study more.
 But NOTHING went as planned.
 Little did I know that I'll be graduating in the middle of a pandemic.
 Little did I know that it would be the worst moment to be out in the job market again.
 And little did I know that I won't be seeing my family for over 2 years.
 The world has changed completely since then.  
But sometimes, when nothing goes per plan, we're pushed to find solutions outside our comfort zone. And more often than not, they are way better than our original plan.”

In this week’s podcast episode of How I Got Hired, I speak with Pragya Mishra on how she landed the plum role of Head of Marketing at Shield, the LinkedIn Analytics platform, without any real experience in SAAS Marketing or even Tech for that matter.

In this juicy episode we talk about:

- What made Pragya make big, bold, uncertain moves when life was downright comfortable in every single way

- How she moved to Denmark with a job offer that (at first) didn’t offer any salary!

- How she got hired by Shield, the world’s leading app for LinkedIn analytics

And so much more!

I love Pragya’s career story, I hope you enjoying listening to the entire conversation!
