In this episode, I’m talking with Leslie Taylor, MSW, about what it looks like to leave traditional social work and build a career in tech, and specifically in the growing field of Trust & Safety. Leslie shares her career journey from intensive in-home therapy to working at organizations like Snap and Adobe.
We get into what Trust & Safety actually means, how social workers are already equipped for this work, and why more of us should be exploring this path (especially if we’re feeling stuck, underpaid, or burned out 👀). We also chat about salary ranges and how to start looking for these kinds of roles, even if you don’t have previous experience in tech. This conversation is full of insight for anyone considering a nontraditional path with their MSW.
