Me in 2019: Showed up to my college career fair in pajamas, got rejected from 47+ internships Me in 2023: 👉 Went to 23+ investor meetings in pajamas 👉 Fundraised VC $$$ in a unicorn onesie 👉 Posting to 22k+ people on Linkedin in pajamas How I turned things around for myself: I changed… Nothing. I got out of college. I stopped job hunting. I simply switched “locations”: I changed where I was bringing my authentic self. My pajamas may not have won me internships in college- but now I hire interns while I sit and work in my pajamas. Sometimes YOU don’t need to change. Sometimes you’re just in the wrong place. For anyone else who feels out of place right now, Know this: A water bottle’s price is different in a grocery store vs. on an airplane. Even though… it’s just water in both places. The difference? Its location. Its placement. Its perceived value. Moral of the story: Stick to being your authentic self. There are places out there in the world that value you for you. #authenticity #changenothing
This is amazing

This is soooo true! I noticed the difference in college at a small town vs. summer interning in a big city. Literally playing the same cards but with different type of people.

Wow, Ananya Jain! Your journey is truly inspiring. It's amazing to see how sticking to your authentic self and finding the right place can make all the difference. Your success in fundraising and hiring interns while rocking your pyjamas is a testament to that. Keep being unapologetically you and continue to inspire others to do the same! #authenticity #inspiration
Absolutely love that you stuck to your guns (and pajamas 🦄). Nothing tops authenticity and you embody that Ananya Jain #inspired 🙌
I used to purposely go to important meetings wearing increasingly ridiculous outfits . It’s a test of whether people click with you or not .
