If you are trying to decide between academia vs. industry, her advice could pivot your career! While she spent over a decade in industry, she never paid attention to the stock price and always felt like a teacher at heart. So she left the industry to return to academia, and become the Department Head of CSE Dept. at Texas A&amp;M University. She co-founded the national group \u201cLatinas in Computing\u201d. Wow!<br \/>Dilma da Silva has unique perspectives on both US academia and US industry, having spent significant time in both. (She\u2019s also been a Professor in Brazil and a Professor in the US.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #454545; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.7em;\">Have you heard of the \u201cminority tax\u201d? Dilma da Silva believes it is harder (on under-represented researchers) in academia than in industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #454545; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.7em;\">Hispanic Heritage Month runs from 15 September to 15 October 2021.
