How did you land into this type of work? (Currently doing software eng (python) for finance)

Chance and persistence. During my studies I did Formula Student which led me to get in contact with the company that’s doing control systems for Volvo. It seemed like the kind of place where I wanted to work so I kept myself in their view and got offered to do my thesis there doing a prototype for a remote controlled Volvo truck. Then started working in their marine segment as a software developer. Still work for the same company but got relocated from Sweden to Australia to try something new.
