[WINii] Have You Considered Investing in Art?

Hi WINers!

Working in tech, you sometimes come across some really interesting jobs - jobs you didn't know exist but instantly appreciate. 

For example, at Meta's NY office, it was part of someone's job to secretly bake and hide cookies in an obscure part of the building. 

They would then post a photo of the cookie, complete with subtle clues about its location, on the company’s internal platform. This would set off a stampede as Metamates raced to uncover the whereabouts in what became known as “The Cookie Hunt”!

In today's newsletter, you'll hear about Fola's journey of becoming an art advisor, at Meta and for her startup. You'll also get a guide to carving out your dream career.

Don’t forget! Our annual new year financial planning workshop is back—better than ever! This year, we’ll prompt ChatGPT to help you brainstorm career aspirations and refresh your 2025 financial plan. We can’t wait to see you next Saturday (January 25th)!
