Just as Piazza was born out of my deeply personal struggle to get help when I was stuck as a shy student, Careers is born out of the challenges I faced grappling with what to do with my life.
We're proud to offer Careers as an additional product (that students opt in to and can opt out of at any time) designed to help students in their pursuit to reach their full potential.
And it is working:
I wanted to reach out and say thank you. Piazza Careers put me on Yelp’s radar, something that I was not able to accomplish through applying directly to the company online. Your support... and inclusion in suggesting changes to Piazza’s core product helped give me the confidence to thrive at Yelp.
Today marks the first day that I will be transitioning to the engineering management team at Yelp, leading a team of 10 highly skilled engineers, and I owe a great deal of gratitude to you and the Piazza product.
Careers has democratized access to the best opportunities -- so it isn’t just the students who, by virtue of network and proximity, have an advantage.
It is my earnest desire that Careers is able to make a real impact in your transition to the real world, as Piazza has in your college experience.
