STEM industries have traditionally been male dominated. But the number of women leading successful STEM careers is on the rise. One of these examples is Dearbhla O’Shea, a Senior Technology Consultant with BearingPoint. On today’s episode, Dearbhla speaks to Madison and Sean about her early interest in computers, her career to date and the realities of being a woman in a traditionally male dominated industry.

What is technology consulting and how does it differ from traditional technology roles?

On this week’s podcast, Madison and Sean talk to James Hedderman, Software Manager, about the key differences between working on technology projects in consulting versus non-consulting environments.

Later, Sarah Comiskey, Senior Technology Consultant, gives an insight into her role and day to day life as part of our Quality Assurance team.

BearingPoint Ireland Careers is a regular series of podcasts where guests discuss their career paths to date as well as useful tips for landing that dream job.

On our first BearingPoint Ireland Careers podcast our host Madison Duffy is joined by two of her colleagues, Sean Fitzgerald who is a Recruitment Manager in BearingPoint and David Field who also works in BearingPoint as a Digital Marketing Consultant.

On today's episode, both Sean and Dave will give us an insight into how they got to where there are today, they will be providing us with the advice they would give their younger self and will also tell us what they like most about their jobs.
