Pros

Great coworkers: Incredibly smart but also very humble & collaborative Interesting business: Really complex business where you work on interesting problems; truly are never bored! High Ownership: In my experience, most roles have a lot of ownership over business problems, meaning there's potential for really high impact

Cons

The downside of lots of ownership & hard problems is that work-life balance can struggle. Definitely not a cultural norm that is expected, but something that comes naturally at times in some projects

Pros

You choose when and how long you work, If you get the Instacart Shopper Card they promote, your earnings are deposited within minutes.

Cons

Before the Iran war, I was making about $10/hour - not that great. Since gas has increased in price, I'm very careful about the jobs I accept so I don't spend $5 or more on gas for a batch.
