Ericsson’s Usharani Marappan shares her experience of moving to a new country and learning to trust that everything will fall into place.
Career Close-up is our brand-new video series in partnership with IDA Ireland where we chat to senior employees in some of Ireland’s leading multinationals about their career journeys within Ireland’s dynamic tech and science industries.
In our fifth episode, we spoke to Usharani Marappan, a master engineer working at Ericsson’s Athlone site.
Having pursued a degree in computer science engineering and starting her career journey in India before ultimately ending up in Ireland, Marappan said she would tell her younger self to believe in herself.
“Coming from India to a different country, a new culture and a new workplace, part of me was scared and worried, thinking about what the future would look like,” she said.
“But now, I have been through it, so I would tell my past self to have confidence. Everything will fall in place eventually.”
