Onwards & Upwards!

Two posts in one month… what could you have possibly done to deserve such a surprise?

The way this month’s progressing, it deserved a second post. Given that we’ve been at home the past few months, it was an absolute delight to get out of the city and state for a little bit. To anyone who’s not familiar with my interests - driving is up there. So you can imagine that a 5-hour drive with a friend was an excellent way to start the month.

Another pro-moment was my promotion earlier this month 🕺🕺🕺. Coming out of undergrad and grad, I’ve always just expected that promotions and raises get evaluated once a year during a typical annual “performance” review. I’ve only been with Pixel for a little over ten months, so my mental clock wasn’t prepared for the call I was about to have with the firm’s partners.

With my professional life, something that’s always been top of mind for me is the feeling that I belong. I’ve always worried that working at a company where I go day in and day out as a part of the system wouldn’t give me what I was looking for. At Pixel, I’ve finally found a space where my colleagues and bosses are more like my family - and that’s even more crucial when your actual family is thousands of kilometers (11,009 to be exact) away.

*Cue abrupt end to post here*

Stay tuned; you never know when the next post drops.
