"I have been fascinated with technology since I was around seven years old or so. I was curious how the Internet worked and eventually how IT systems at my high school were run, and then went to study engineering in college. Computer science became very popular during the pandemic due to the promise of high new grad salaries and many job openings, but I graduated in 2018 and was more driven by the fact that I simply liked to solve hard engineering problems."
"Easily rent - I have my own apartment in the South End that costs around $3,700 per month. Is your salary enough for you to live on? Undoubtedly, it's more than enough. I would say that there isn't really a tradeoff I make for it to be possible to live in Boston. Given the nature of my work I could definitely choose to live somewhere cheaper, but I value the connections I've built here."
