For Laura Sanjuan (She/Her), Sr. Recruiting Systems Analyst at Elastic, traveling isn't just something she does, it's part of who she is. To date, she's been to over 50 countries and counting. "I am who I am today, but I don't know who I'm going to be tomorrow," Laura shares. "Travel is part of that." As an avid traveler, Laura always dreamed of working remotely. In her job search, she discovered our Source Code tenet “01.02, /FORMAT.” Just like our products are distributed by design, our company is distributed by intention. We understand that a distributed Elastic makes for a diverse Elastic, which makes for a better Elastic. This global mindset drew Laura to Elastic from the beginning. "I meet a lot of people around the world and that gives me perspective to connect," she says. Wherever she travels, Laura always makes an effort to live like the locals, learn a bit of the language, meet new people, and give back through volunteering. "You need to adapt very quickly and embrace that things that are very easy for locals are going to be a culture shock." "There’s a difference between traveling and working, and traveling and being on holiday. It’s a different mindset," she says. Travel teaches flexibility, and Laura recommends leaning into that lesson to balance responsibilities and travel. One thing is certain, Laura will always seek a challenge. Whether it’s in her work or in her free time, she’s pushing herself to be better, connect more, and inspire others.

How do you land a career in AI? Liran Agami, Senior Manager of Software Engineering on our Search Relevance Team, says lead with problem-solving — not just experience. Working on a new tech is about flexibility, innovation, and transferable skills. “Don’t be intimidated by the job description,” she says. “Go to the interview and talk about your experience, how it’s relevant, and what value you can add to the team.” It's also crucial to bring new perspectives to an emerging technology and create diverse teams. “We have fewer women in the pipeline for these jobs — we’re working to increase the number of diverse candidates. So, just apply and make your experience shine.” Learn more about Liran's own career journey as well as her tips for breaking into AI here: https://go.es.io/3LAcYlg #LifeAtElastic #WomenInTech

Here’s how some Elasticians around the world have used their VTO: ⭐ Martin Hacker, Senior Director of Sales, Public Sector, and a team of 11 Elasticians volunteered to help the unhoused community in Berlin, Germany.
