I was pretty skeptical that I'd get any traction, but I ended up connecting with a co-founder of Flat (flat.app), and within a few weeks I was on the team!

I am really grateful that I ended up giving it a shot as it's been a great experience so far - I have sharp coworkers who are eager to share their knowledge and generous with their time, I get exposure to all aspects of the product, and the impact of my work is visible and immediate. Best of all, we use our product to make our product, so I get to directly enjoy the fruits of my labor :)
