If you don’t want to do something, you’re going to find every excuse NOT to do it. No one could have anticipated this virus taking over the world.

This summer, in the wake of the tragic murder of George Floyd, we saw a true sense of urgency to address systemic inequalities. With a new roster of public hiring goals, we are in a decisive moment. There are a number of reasons to be optimistic that this will be a turning point for not only the tech industry, but… read more

Gayatri Iyengar Sr Manager Engineering at Uber	"Life - Work” Harmony and Staying motivated through the pandemic So how do you plan your day? Do you wake up in the morning and do all your work and then spend the day at work looking forward to being at home and not working? We all have heard about work-life balance. This sounds like a great idea but it can also imply that we should dedicate at least half of our time to work–and sacrifice time for our “personal life”. To me, that seems… off balance. Because, the truth is, it’s nearly impossible to split your time equally between the two. And, you may end up stressing out if you’re not able to meet that expectation of balance. … read more
