And we reach out to each other for solicited advice whenever we're facing a challenge, a career challenge, and aren't sure what to do. And it's just been totally amazing. So it's this peer group of people who support each other, care about each other. There's friendship. That's all built in. We see others achieving and it helps us see, oh, if they can do it, I can do it.

But then also we get to give advice and we grow from that as well.

And instead of feeling like we were in competition with one another, it was very clear that we were all part of a team. Almost every email starts with hi team, right? These are academics all vying for jobs and to sort of achieve. And you could see it being very cutthroat and competitive. We weren't on a team, right?
