Dawn Choo, who is in her 30s, interned at Facebook in college, hoping to then land a data scientist job at Instagram. She didn't get an offer and ended up doing a quant role at Bank of America before taking a business analyst job at Amazon. The Big Tech role would mean a roughly 40% pay cut, different duties, and feeling like she wasn't learning much."Despite what felt like moving backward, I could see the upsides of taking the job," Choo said in an as-told-to essay. "Amazon's a big company, and I knew it was a step toward where I wanted to go. I had to make some adjustments, like eating at home more. But I also felt like it was a step back in my career because I suddenly stepped into a service-desk role."She eventually got a promotion before landing her dream job at Instagram.
