Wilson School District’s Post

The idea that you have to major in a technical field to work in tech is bullshit. Either we’re doing something really weird and different at Wistia, or the perceptions out there are really wrong. I asked the team to share their previous roles outside of tech in Slack. These are jobs Wistians have held prior to entering tech across all departments and levels of seniority: + Corporate Christmas tree decorator + Goat tender + Spotlight operator for Lady Gaga + Baby ballet teacher + Romance bookshop owner + Bank teller + High-rise sign installer + Beach concession stand cook + Philosophy professor + Mental health therapist + Reality television contestant + Reality television producer + Camp counselor + Ice cream shop manager + Airforce Officer + Broadway star + Folk Singer + Art docent + High-end cheese seller + Bowling alley mechanic + FEMA employee + Pharmacy technician + Whitewater kayaking guide + Lifeguard + Caregiver + Librarian + Cat cafe employee + Baker + Subtitle translator You might assume this trend wouldn’t be true when you look at more senior roles, but it is! Some of our most senior people have the weirdest beginnings. Seeing this, I wish I hadn’t worried so much about locking myself into a certain concentration of study in high school and college. Here’s to finding your own way.

"[A] performance like this doesn't just materialize out of thin air. It's a physical challenge.... It begins with a script, which is where [Stephanie] Sheh comes in. First, she watches the original Japanese version of the movie with English subtitles.... Then she adapts those English subtitles into spoken dialogue, and a big part of the job is making sure that that dialogue matches the characters' mouths moving on-screen, characters who were originally speaking in Japanese."
