It was surprising how much impact you can have on a new organization.
I think each week I got to move higher up in the ranks and I got more and more responsibility.
Not only was working for a startup really important to me, but I also really liked Start Me Up because its programs are based in co-working spaces, not offices.
So you could meet people, network with them and get some more ideas about what you want to do in the future.
