Today was an interesting turn of events. I was at Starbucks today thinking about what my next steps are now that I left CSS. While on Facebook, I happen to see a post by a friend that used to work at Panda Restaurant Group. She posted about open positions at Sweetgreens; a company that I’m familiar with because I was interested in their business model. I knew that they raised another round of funding at $200 million bringing their valuation to over a billion dollars. They also happened to be one of our restaurant tenants at CSS.
I looked up the jobs that were available at Sweetgreens and one really caught my attention because it’s close to the role I was aiming for at CSS. The difference is the culture seems to be better and there is actually work/life balance here. Also, by getting into CSS my chances of getting this role would be much higher. It would be one heck of story if I went through everything at CSS just to get this job. But God’s ways are higher than my ways and who knows if this is part of His plan. It was just an interesting thing that popped up.
I’m going to continue figuring out what path God has next for me.
