The summer after my sophomore and junior years at Harvard University, I interned at Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund.
AdvertisementAnd while I definitely see parallels between my time at Bridgewater and that "Black Mirror" episode, I look back fondly on my time there.
AdvertisementAuthenticity is a big thing at Bridgewater, so I went into the interview wanting to be completely myself.
I worked on a lot of diversity initiatives, figuring out how to make Bridgewater more streamlined and accessible to employees.
It helped shape who I am today, especially how I think about feedback, work, and the relationships I have at work.
