What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from it?

My first job was at a tech startup. I loved that everything I did had a direct, tangible impact on the success of the company.

What would be your alternative career?

I would love to be a professional gift giver (if that was a thing!). Finding the perfect gift to bring someone joy is the best feeling!
