“Hi – I am Marcus, a rising senior from Peru.
I’m finishing a CS degree but I’m not sure I actually want to be a software engineer. What did you do when you realized the obvious path wasn’t the right one?
Thank you!

Hi — I’m five years out, Class of 2021, and I’ve been in consulting since I graduated.
I’m interested in moving into a operating role at a startup but I have no idea if that’s realistic from where I am, or if I’m romanticizing it. Did you make a jump like this? What did you actually have to give up?
Thank you for your time.
