In a 2017 TEDxAix talk, Shemin Nurmohamed discussed her career transitions from chemistry to investment banking to technology, and her view that confidence and embracing change are key to professional growth. She recounted turning down an early opportunity to join Amazon in 1994, calling it a "billion dollar lesson." Nurmohamed cited a Forbes study indicating that individuals who change careers every two years earn 50% more, and a McKinsey study showing that women represent 46% of the workforce but only 19% of C-level positions. She stated that women often apply for promotions only when they meet 100% of the criteria, while men apply at 60%, and argued that staying in a comfortable role can be riskier than pursuing new opportunities.
