I have been using Pinterest for close to ten years now.

Since I was a teenager, I have been obsessed with using Pinterest. There is always an endless number of beautiful photographs of exotic travel destinations and fashionable clothes on the app. These are all things that I wish my life can be filled with.

I love using Pinterest so much that, during University when I studied Computer Science, I thought Pinterest was my dream company to work for. Unlike most of my peers who aspired to worked at FAANGs companies, I never wanted to (To be fair, I also didn’t think I was good enough) work for those companies.

Unfortunately, Pinterest didn’t have an office in Singapore, and hence, realistically it would take a significant amount of miracle and effort for me to move to the US and work for them as a software engineer. I did try applying for internship positions, full time positions and even contacted Pinterest engineers on Linkedin for a referral. Unfortunately, my applications always got rejected at the resume screening stage. Never mind, that’s not the point of today’s article :( But you understand my passion for Pinterest pictures now!
