Hi! I'm a talented grad passionate about technology and transportation, planning to enter the industry. Any advice for newcomers?

@jnewbie_eng12 My advice for newcomers would be to build strong fundamentals and constantly keep learning. Be it distributed systems, algorithms, networking, or data structures – master the basics. The transportation industry is evolving rapidly, so stay up-to-date with the latest developments in technology, and always strive to enhance your skills. Don't be discouraged if you lack specific domain experience – it can be acquired through continuous learning.
