A uncommon non-AI-slop publish in my feed! What a enjoyable summer time and type of internship that is each uncommon but so enjoyable. I like to recommend this so usually to college students vs summer time of ps or working in Massive Tech. And…

Summer’s ending and faculty’s beginning quickly. A whole lot of my mates with internships this summer time have complained about how boring it’s been. I can’t say the identical about my time at Sequence.

Though there was lots of juggling and context switching, I truly ended up doing actual, precise stuff, whether or not it’s writing whitepapers or backend code. Add within the latent chaos that comes with adjusting to life in New York, it’s been quite a bit to deal with. But it’s additionally been an irreplaceable expertise, you simply can’t get the identical studying surroundings anyplace aside from a startup.

Billing looks like one thing that ought to’ve been solved by now but actually it’s one of many hardest issues in fintech to actually nail. It’s an entire pipeline from CPQ to income recognition that’s very delicate to imprecision, all depending on integrations with the remainder of the fintech ecosystem that should be continuously maintained. In my (very) biased opinion Sequence has been doing a superb job at tackling this problem, and I’m excited to see the place they’ll go.

It’s been equal elements hectic and superb to be part of. If you need to truly do one thing on your internship, I couldn’t advocate a startup extra. Incredibly grateful to Sequence for the chance.

I’m again in California now, a bit extra grateful for our good climate, and a bit unhappy I’m gone from startup life in New York.
