Meet Alex Chen, a 28-year-old graduate from the University of Waterloo's Engineering program who now works as a software developer in the bustling tech hub of San Francisco. After spending a couple of years in the Midwest for a comfortable job, Alex quickly realized that the allure of a slower pace degraded into a sense of stagnation. Passionate about traveling and seeking new experiences, Alex often reflects on their time at Waterloo - where co-op placements fostered a diverse worldview. Friends from their cohort frequently reach out for advice, as Alex encourages them to embrace change rather than settle.
