May 02, 2022 10. Expectations vs. Realities of Working in Tech
There’s a lot of perceptions about what it’s like working in tech: you have to be a programmer, there’s free food and offices with bean bag chairs, everyone is trying to start the next Facebook, etc.
After working various internships from start-ups to big tech as a SWE, designer and PM, we debunk some of the myths of what it’s like working in tech. We talk about our expectations going in, what it’s really like, as well as what we like and dislike about being in the industry.

Hi there, don’t be a stranger 👋!
Sit down with us as we play the card game, “WE’RE NOT REALLY STRANGERS” to see how well we really know each other (and for you to get to know us better too 😳). This card game aims to deepen existing relationships and create new ones through a series of prompts, from “What is the hardest truth you had to face this year?” to “What am I most likely to get arrested for?”
