What was once a clearly sign-posted path as you progressed through milestones, a career road map is now circuitous presenting new challenges and opportunities at every bend. Life-long careers in one sector or one company are becoming a rarity as new technologies and shifting social norms disrupt traditional careers. Both employers and employees are seeking more diversity of experience, lifestyle flexibility and alternative paths. These panels are designed to help you think about your career path and the different options that are open to you. Each panel will have an informational interview type feel with panelists sharing their career paths, a look at what their job entails, transferrable skills for those looking to make a change, tips for uncovering opportunities, advice for others, and how to make brave leaps. Then you will get some small group time with the panelists during a few speed networking rounds.  [Read More](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-possibilities-series) 1 Comment [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-possibilities-series#comments-listing) Topics: [Events](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/events), [STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/stem), [Women](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/women), [Science](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/science), [Transitions](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/transitions), [Career](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career), [Panel](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/panel), [Cambridge](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/cambridge), [Success](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/success), [Women in STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/women-in-stem), [Networking](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/networking), [Upcoming Events](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/upcoming-events), [Innovation](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/innovation), [Professional](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/professional), [Biotech](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/biotech), [Digital](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/digital), [Career Path](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-path), [Career Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-development), [Career Possibilities](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-possibilities), [Speed Networking](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/speed-networking), [New Opportunities](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/new-opportunities), [#WESTevent](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westevent), [#WESTorg](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westorg), [Be Fearless, Be Brave](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/be-fearless-be-brave), [Venture Capital/VC](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/venture-capital-vc), [Business Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/business-development), [Research & Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/research-development), [Devices](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/devices), [Medical](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/medical) ## [Life sciences venture capital is front-running the diversity curve.](https://info.westorg.org/blog/ls-vc) Posted by [Diana Anderson](https://info.westorg.org/blog/author/diana-anderson) on Jul 8, 2019 2:01:52 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.westorg.org/hubfs/2018-07-16%20Blog%20Pic.jpeg) ](https://info.westorg.org/blog/ls-vc) Sure, there’s still the glass stratosphere and whatnot.
