I had never visited San Francisco and arrived without a place to live. Once I got my bearings in San Francisco, I would start chasing after the dream job for which I uprooted my life. The perks were as good as advertised, and Google met my expectations of a dream job. I had moved across the country for my dream job, so I wouldn't let a four-hour daily commute stop me now. It started by uprooting my life and commuting four hours a day for my dream job at Google, and it was totally worth it.

Anne Wojcicki, CEO of 23andMe , has submitted a proposal to take the genetic testing company private as its stock price continues to hover below $1. The proposed price of 40 cents per share reflects an 11% premium to 23andMe's closing stock price from April. 23andMe went public in 2021 via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, which valued the company at around $3.5 billion. In November, the company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, which said the company had 180 days to bring its share price back above $1. The Special Committee will need to approve or reject Wojcicki's proposal to take the company private, according to the filing Wednesday.

The interior security cameras collect facial data and are designed to help prevent unauthorized individuals from entering Google's campus, the company said. Google said its security team uses the data to identify people who may pose a security risk. After news of the system was first reported by CNBC, Business Insider talked to Google employees at various campuses to find out what they thought about the change.
