A special shoutout to @soleio. Earlier this year, I saw his post offering to help people considering their next career move, so I reached out. We barely knew each other, but he asked me what my 2–3 dream companies were. Linear was at the top of that list. Without hesitation, he offered to make introductions and continued to be an incredibly thoughtful sounding board as I explored different opportunities. I was genuinely blown away by his generosity. I hope sharing this encourages others to reach out for help and to pay it forward when they're in a position to do so.
