The Career Labs Job Search Networking Edition 1

Find your people before you find your job.

Looking for a job in Paris as an international can feel lonely: endless applications, silent inboxes, and nobody to ask what actually works. The Career Labs is a small, honest evening to change that. Real conversations with people who've been where you are, and with people already working in the industries you're aiming for.

This is our very first edition. It's free, and spots are limited to 15 people, so the conversations stay real.

🎤 Guest speaker: Ayushman Dash
Ayushman is Head of Data & AI at Jus Mundi, the Paris legal-tech company behind the AI assistant Jus AI.
He has about 12 years of experience in artificial intelligence, especially natural language processing. Before that, he was an Applied Research Scientist at Element AI, and in 2020 he founded his own startup, Neura, in India.
He's built a career across research, startups and industry, in India and in France, and he'll share what he's learned about AI, careers and making it work abroad. Bring your questions.
