Career Advice: Where Do Telecom Engineering, People, and Ethics Meet?

I’m looking for career perspective from people who have seen different parts of large telecom companies.

My background is MSc Wireless Communication + several years in 4G/5G RAN L1/L2 software, and now embedded Linux/networking.

I’ve realized I also have strong interests and strengths around people, communication, human behavior, ethics, and understanding different perspectives.

I don’t want to throw away my technical background and restart in law, psychology, security, etc. I’m looking for areas where telecom/system knowledge + human/ethical considerations genuinely meet.

For people who have worked across Ericsson, Nokia, operators or similar companies: what roles or functions do you think could fit this combination?

I’m especially interested in real examples of what those teams do and what backgrounds people came from.
