when i was invited to the full panel interview for my job, i turned it down i sent an email to the hiring manager & architect, saying i was honored that they would even consider me for this role of a lifetime, but i didn’t think i had what it takes just yet

they both emailed me back urging me to reconsider. there was a lot of kindness & encouragement. so i did reconsider 4 years later, my network helped launch NASA probes towards Mars & then landed its booster on a barge in the middle of the ocean

i didn’t design it. but i did all the initial testing & integration once we had the equipment. for years, i got to know it on a deep level & i taught many others about it too the job hasn’t been perfect sunshine & rainbows (nothing ever is). it’s actually been super difficult at times…

…but it has forced me to grow as a person & as a professional. i’ve learned a lot of cool stuff & met a lot of intelligent, cool people if u have the means—take the chance on yourself. you really never know
