| Episode 4. Lucy Cho: Technical Program Manager (TPM) at Tesla | 01 Apr 2026 | 00:43:11 | |
Lucy went from making K-pop fan art to overseeing Cybertruck, Optimus and Robotaxi at Tesla… and recently quit to travel the world. In this episode we find out what a Technical Program Manager actually does (hint: it's a lot of JIRA and convincing engineers to talk to each other), why soft skills might matter more than technical ones, and her surprisingly simple trick for figuring out what job actually fits you. | |||
| Episode 3. Sebastian Esquivel: Ex-Chemical Engineer, Now Chief of Staff | 18 Mar 2026 | 00:45:48 | |
What does a chemical engineer actually do day to day? And what on earth is a Chief of Staff? Sebastian Esquivel has done both, so he's the perfect person to ask. We get into the reality of working as a chemical engineer at a clean energy startup in Brooklyn, what a Chief of Staff actually does, why he made the jump, and why the hiring system is completely broken. Oh and if you are currently in the job hunt, go create a Talvy profile! | |||
| Episode 2. Wendy Trattner: Ex-MechE, Now Independent Artist & Entrepreneur | 12 Mar 2026 | 00:40:51 | |
What do you do when you've done everything right –MIT degree, dream startup, dream job– and you're still not happy? Wendy quit engineering to become a full-time artist and hasn't looked back. We talk golden handcuffs, the reality of mechanical engineering day-to-day, going viral overnight, and why everyone in their 20s is more lost than they look. | |||

Dean moves billion-dollar hospital systems to the cloud… and still has time to cry, dance, and run a YouTube channel ( @deansodium ). In this episode, we unpack what a tech consultant at PwC actually does (hint: it’s not just PowerPoints) and whether logging off at 5pm would get you fired. | |||
