Redbubble

A few years ago, I made the transition from teaching English to coding. My first few developer jobs were mostly thanks to connections I had made from my bootcamp. Earlier in my job search, I was simply applying to anything that sounded decent. But when I was ready for my next role, I knew I was looking for more than just salary and perks.

I wanted a job where I’m genuinely happy to come to work everyday, which to me means there’s a high level of collaboration and social interaction, in addition to other specific values (like pair programming).

I had been following Key Values on Twitter and tried out their site. It was the only one where I could confidently discover companies that were truly aligned with my values. All the information I really cared about was there (and pretty much nowhere else).

Redbubble’s profile really caught my eye and gave me a clear idea of what working here would be like. I saw them and thought, “I can tell they have what I’m looking for... and wow, I feel like this profile speaks directly to me!” It made me excited because I felt like I had everything they were looking for, too.

Most importantly, it made me really confident that I would be happy there. The way they work is the way I want to work. And as expected, it has been a great fit here for me. To any fellow engineers who prioritize a strong values fit in their next job, I would highly recommend trying Key Values.
