What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
What's really cool about tech is that you're working on things that you use as a consumer. For example, I've had a Facebook account for over a decade, maybe closer to two decades.
I also use Instagram and WhatsApp. It's cool to be able to work on programs and influence products that affect people's lives daily.
The company I work for offers an awesome opportunity to work on products that affect almost 4 billion people every day. It's rewarding to have that kind of influence and know that your work is in somebody's hands or important in their life.
