Wonderful that you've been able to try so many different types of places! I wish that for everyone new to the industry. Whether it's while you're in school or in your first few jobs out, two things are most important.

  1. Try different sizes/types of companies
  2. Don't focus on what you're building, focus on who you're building it with. Your first few jobs the most important consideration (besides living wage/location) is who your senior resource is and whether they're afforded the time and resources to actively help you grow.
