Reflections from my first year at Microsoft (and adulting)
So I finished a full year of being a real adult, wore my big girl pants and worked at Microsoft. And holy wow- I have learnt so much! It’s been an *interesting* year to say the least. Moving to Seattle, paying ridiculous amounts of rent, just to stay inside my apartment listening to people say “can you see my screen?”, “you’re on mute” and “we’re in unprecedented times” over and over again was not what I had in mind.
I still have so much to celebrate, so much I’ve learnt and that usually calls for a nice long word ramble. I adopted a doggo, finally figured out what the heck a 401k was (you don’t get 401,000$ in case you were wondering), started a business Dasani Decoded, released a bunch of cool features, spoke at conferences and so much more. Reflecting back I can’t believe it’s only been a year!
Here you have it — lessons from my first year working at Microsoft (or more accurately adulting)!
