I need just three minutes of your attention. My name is Darya. I’m an immigrant from Belarus, and around two years ago, I decided to try my career skills in Silicon Valley. At that moment, I had an awesome career in my country and didn’t think at all that one day I wouldn’t be able to go back to Belarus because of the political situation occurring there now. I had a dream to live for a few years in San Francisco, study UX/UI design, and then share my knowledge with the people of Eastern Europe. I still work with Belarusian startups… but without the possibility to go back when I want.
