Anne and Susan Wojcicki Meet the Self-Made Millionaires

Anne and Susan Wojcicki Meet the Self-Made Millionaires Success runs in the Wojcicki family. Susan and Anne Wojcicki are sisters with superstar tech resumes. Susan, 50, is the CEO of YouTube and has long worked for Google. Anne, 45, cofounded and serves as CEO of the genetic testing website 23andMe. Their skyrocketing careers recently landed them on Forbes’ list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women, at No. 42 and No. 44, respectively. Susan’s estimated net worth is $480 million, while Anne’s is $440 million. Oh, and their other sister is no slacker: Janet is an anthropologist and an epidemiologist who works at University of California, San Francisco. Appropriately enough given their Silicon Valley bona fides, the Wojcicki sisters grew up in the valley. They were raised in Palo Alto, home to Stanford. Their father Stanley was chairman of the university’s physics department and is now professor of physics emeritus. He fled Poland at age 12 in 1949 when Communists took over the country. Their mother Esther came from a family of poor Orthodox Russian Jews who immigrated to New York in the 1920s. She currently heads up a journalism program at Palo Alto High School (James Franco was a student). The girls grew up on the university’s campus and, by all accounts, quickly learned a sense of independence. “My parents really looked at us always as like mini-adults,” Anne Wojcicki told CNBC. “I think the one thing that my parents really did is they gave us a taste of freedom. And they encouraged it. They encouraged us to find our passions, they weren’t controlling.” That meant that when Anne wanted to pursue figure skating, which the parents opposedâ€"preferring she play tennisâ€"they still let her follow through with her ambitions. But she had to pay for it herself. And she did through fundraising competitions. “In some ways, it was the first example of me being stubborn where I said like, ‘I know that you don’t want me to do this. You want me to do tennis, and I’m not going to. I’m going to skate, and I’m going to figure out my own way to do it whether you support me or not,'” she said. Education was also a bedrock principle for the family. “My parents were really clear like you should do something that’s meaningful in the world. And I look at the Stanford campus community and the people I grew up with were people who did things that were meaningful. They weren’t necessarily financially successful, but they were contributing to society in some way,” Anne said. “I felt pressure that I knew I had to go to college. I knew that my parents would be disappointed if I didn’t put in my best.” She and Susan rose to the challenge: Susan attended Harvard, while Anne went to Yale. Susan became Google’s 16th employee in 1999, working as the search giant’s first marketing manager. She went on to convince company brass to buy YouTube for $1.65 billion in 2006 (it’s now valued at $90 billion), leading to her top position at the Alphabet subsidiary. Susan sold the YouTube pitch after Google started its own user-driven video service, and she uploaded its first clip: “a purple Muppet singing a nonsense song,” she recalled in the book Measure What Matters. She then worked up a spreadsheet to justify the hefty price for YouTube, which had a larger market share. Anne’s path was slightly more circuitous. She was a Wall Street analyst but quit that job to pursue medical school. Then she diverged again in 2006 to start 23andMe, a concept she launched with celebrity-attended spit parties, during New York Fashion Week (saliva provides the DNA used for the firm’s tests). She discussed the idea with her well-connected friends. CEOs and sisters Anne Wojcicki (L) and Susan Wojcicki (R) pose backstage during the 2018 Breakthrough Prize at NASA Ames Research Center on December 3, 2017 in Mountain View, California. C Flaniganâ€"FilmMagic “I was sitting at a table at Allen Company with Wendi Murdoch, Barry Diller, Diane von Furstenberg, Anderson Cooper, and Sergey, and we were talking about tongue curling,” Anne told The New York Times in 2008 as the startup was getting off the ground. “Barry cannot roll his tongue, but Anderson Cooper can do a really complicated four-leaf clover.” Anne married Sergey Brin, a Google cofounder, with whom she has kids. But the two split in 2013 (which means that, yes, her sister works under her ex). That year turned out to be a bad one for Anne. It was also when the FDA ruled that 23andMe’s spit vial was “an unapproved medical device.” As a result, it changed its procedures and reconfigured its relationship with the FDA. 23andMe recovered from that low and now offers FDA-approved tests for a range of health factors, along with more conventional ancestry reports. It’s also valued at $1.8 billion. Anne bounced back, too, remaining friendly with Brin and even dating baseball star Alex Rodriguez for a time (a non-baseball viewer, she apparently had trouble relating to his passions). Anne likely owes that resilience, in her personal life and phenomenal professional arc, to the spirit her mother gave her and her sisters. “My mom is utterly the believer, like she can get anything done,” Anne told The New York Times. “She had a real fighter mentality growing up, and I feel that was how we were raised. We’re all super-comfortable in controversy. My mom’s like, ‘Listen, a lot of really bad stuff happened in my life. You either let that control you or you make the rest of your life great.’”

How To Troubleshoot Your Job Search Problems - Work It Daily

How To Troubleshoot Your Job Search Problems - Work It Daily A job search can feel like a lonely process. It’s definitely not a group activity; and you can’t be very breath taking at a party when you discuss how many applications you've sent. It’s even tougher when you aren’t getting the results you expect and you don’t really know what to do to solve your problem. You also have few people to tap into to help you figure out what’s gone wrong. Solving this problem is more than simply updating your resume again, which isn’t really targeting your actions toward a solution. In order to truly take action that will matter, you have to look at job search as the process it is. As with all processes, it has some inherent characteristics which most job seekers don’t realize. The primary characteristic is it’s a numbers game and every job seeker needs to be tracking their activities to know where the break down in the process is taking place. Once you can see where the break down occurs, you can develop a targeted, well thought out corrective action. Think of this like a car manufacturing assembly line. If the fourth step in the process is observing scratches on the car, you know it has to be taking place after the chassis is put on and before step four. That allows you to go directly to those steps to see what the problem is. Let me demonstrate this in real job search terms. In order to get one job offer, you need about nine interviews. As with all averages, that number is high for some and low for others. For example, sales positions usually require fewer interviews and administrative jobs require more. Sales positions are harder to fill, so when job seekers get to an interview, they will most likely get an offer. It’s supply and demand. Let’s say you’ve interviewed 12 times and have yet to receive an interview. Unless people for your type of job grow on trees, you have a problem in the interview. It has nothing to do with your resume. It also has nothing to do with your job search methods because it’s clearly yielding you interview invitations. Knowing this allows you to target your solutions to the dynamic around the interview. Let me give you a set of targets to keep your eye on and possible solutions if you go “out of range” for the target: Offers Target: 3 offers to get 1 acceptable offer. Problem Threshold: Maximum 5. Possible Solutions: Reevaluate your salary expectations; they may be off for the market and position you are pursuing. Rethink the positions/jobs you are pursuing; they may be wrong for you. Interviews To Yield An Offer Target: 9 interviews to yield 1 offer. Problem Threshold: Maximum 12. Possible Solutions: Practice interviewing skills; you may not be answering the questions well. Reevaluate how you present your assets. Answer the question: “Why You?” Check your attitude and behavior; you may not be coming across as “like-able”/connecting with the decision makers. Check your appearance; dress for success. There is a mismatch in your qualifications that wasn’t detected until interviewing (i.e. “resume drift”). High-Quality Contacts To Yield An Interview Target: This can vary, but you should target 5; then track your results and adjust. Problem Threshold: No more than 8. Possible Solutions: Practice presenting yourself; you aren't presenting yourself or direction well. The contacts aren't that high quality or qualified; they may not able to extend an interview invitation or aren’t in the sphere of influence to the ultimate decision maker. Be clear with your network; you may have been unclear about the type of person to whom you want to be introduced. You might notice you are creating a pyramid of activity: Job you desire = 1 Offers to get that job = 3 Interviews to get 3 offers = 27 High-quality contacts to get 27 interviews = 216 I hope this puts the picture of your job search into a clearer view. It is a numbers game for you just like it is for the businesses. Larger companies track these same types of statistics so they can troubleshoot their hiring process in a similar fashion. Obviously, they track different things, but for them it still all leads to that job offer which someone will accept. Your job search is personal, but it’s still a process. Like all processes, you have to understand each of the working parts and how each part is likely to break down. Then, if you’re paying attention to your process, you can adjust the part that isn’t working. You will be in greater control and feel much more confident with all your job search efforts.
