Ashia Ogunlade: How I Got Hired by One of the World’s Biggest Brands

This week on Behind the Future, Ashia, a Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services, joins us to share her incredible journey into the tech world; from studying A-level Computer Science to interning in Luxembourg and landing a dream role at one of the biggest companies on the planet.

Ever wondered what it’s really like to work at Amazon? Or how to go from student to tech pro without knowing exactly where you’re headed? Ashia breaks it all down. She shares how rejection shaped her path, how LinkedIn and personal projects opened doors, and why owning your journey, even when it feels uncertain, is the key to unlocking opportunity.
