6: Interview with Catija

Welcome to the Unicorn Meta Zoo, a podcast by members of the Stack Exchange Community Management Team. If you want to avoid spoilers, jump straight to the audio.

Participants

Back in May, Jon interviewed me (Catija) while we were both in NYC for a meetup. Serendipitously, I get to share it with y’all on the one-year anniversary of my first day working for Stack Exchange. The interview was a lot of fun to do and I hope you enjoy listening to it!

Meta

Jon Ericson interviewed several community managers at our most recent meet-up. There were three questions:

1. What, if anything, gets you excited about your job?


2. How did your life experience before Stack Exchange prepare you for this role?


3. What is your favorite site?

We’re running these interviews for the summer (or winter, if you are in the southern hemisphere) and we’ll be back to the regular format around August.
