What’s A Challenge You Faced Early On?

I moved to New York in August of 2022, and a month later I started at Facebook.

The company instated a hiring freeze a few weeks after my start date. I got an email from Zuck himself that I had been laid off. 

It felt like the San Fran internship all over again, but this time I had rent to pay, so I went right back into the grind of applying to jobs.

Most places I was interested in were also going through massive layoffs, and halted recruiting for the holidays.

By early spring I took a remote role at GoPuff. Pretty soon I saw the writing on the wall. Rounds of layoffs had started. It was fine, I wasn’t built for remote life anyway. I ended up re-applying to Facebook a year later.
