Karen, a 21-year-old from Spain, shares her journey of relocating to Israel through a Masa program, where she's interning in brand marketing at a high-tech company. With a background in biomedical sciences degree from the UK, she reflects on switching fields after realizing lab work wasn't her passion. The conversation delves into the stark differences in work cultures—contrasting rigid, hour-focused environments in Europe with Israel's flexible, results-driven approach that fosters growth and autonomy. They explore the appeal of startups over large corporations for their supportive, family-like atmospheres, the value of taking risks and pursuing passions at a young age, and the transformative power of stepping outside comfort zones, from career pivots to embracing life's uncertainties in a new country.
