I graduated from MIT in 2023. It was the year (more like era) when it was especially hard to get a role in big tech.
A lot of my friends and classmates basically took two alternative routes
> get a masters/higher education and wait it out
> build or join a startup
it's been a few years now, and those life choices are starting to realize. For me personally, I reneged a quant trading job and moved to SF instead (for my own reasons).
But it's been really beautiful to see the companies/achievements everyone has built and accomplished in the past few years in sf, nyc, etc.
thinking of @annasun_19 and @NowadaysAI when we used to serve on class council together and lived down the floor in our sorority house
thinking of @ivory_tang, who cross-registered with me at Harvard classes and is now building a new company
thinking of many more :)
What do latte art, payroll systems, and event planning have in common?
