I just successfully completed my first year working as a software engineer at an investment bank in New York City! In some ways this past year feels like the longest year and the shortest year yet. Individual days can drag but months flew by before I knew it. I’ve taken some time to pause and reflect on the things I’ve learned after working a full year in the industry as a software engineer and some of the things that I didn’t expect and thought I would share them with you.
Christmas time is almost here!! And I don’t know about you, but at the end of a very long and hectic 2020 Christmas is something I’m really looking forward to. Even though this year will be quieter and sans the family gatherings, I’m still really excited to pick out gifts for my friends and family members.
I’m also conscious of the people and businesses that have been hit really hard this year and am making a conscious effort to shop from small businesses which I will highlight here. Additionally, since relocating to Vermont I’ve become a lot more aware of environmentally conscious lifestyle choices that have a big impact on the environment (psst I see you fast fashion).
After just over one year working full-time as a software engineer at a finance company in NYC I have taken the leap and accepted an offer from another team … during quarantine.
I’m writing this as I sit on board yet another flight. This time it’s a 10.5 hour flight to Hawaii and if it wasn’t for my travel tech, I don’t know if I would make it through these long haul flights! So here’s a look inside my travel bag to show you the things I can’t fly without.
Having lots of things that aren’t meaningful not only clutters up our lives, but it clutters up our planet. Think about all of the plastic wrapping paper and bows that end up in landfills just because of one holiday.
Everyone knows the holidays are filled with family, food… and movies. Instead of just watching Shrek for the 24th time in a row or mindlessly searching Netflix check out one (or all) of these great tech inspired films. And if you can’t tell based off the first three recommendations, I absolutely LOVE ‘80s movies.
