Uunipelti identity - Silicon Valley school years, Kaisa Korpela

Welcome to take a peek at the Bubble called Silicon Valley.

What does life look like when your spouse works at the headquarters of a giant international company? How does it feel to transform from a university-educated careerist to a housewife when there is no work permit for the first more than two years? What is the identity of a foreigner based on? What about when you have to return to Finland under the dictates of necessity?

Uunipelti identity - Piilaakso oppivuorit is a story of growth that takes the reader on an armchair journey in the middle of the famous center of the technology industry. In his personal work that utilizes the means of fiction, Korpela accurately and honestly observes the everyday life of an Expatriate with its pain points and successes. Everyday life, in which the global IT giants bring not only all the good but also their own dark sides.
