She also noted that her male colleagues would be more likely to frame their performance in terms more favorable to them, and it took her time to figure out that she was actually doing a lot better in the courses than her much more confident male colleagues.〔 Even though she was studying computer science and enjoyed programming, Chou did not seriously consider programming as a full-time job. Even after an internship as a programmer at Facebook, she wasn't considering becoming a software engineer and instead hoped to get her doctorate to do quantitative marketing research. However, in 2010, a small startup called Quora approached her and convinced her to give it a shot. She joined Quora, but left in October 2011 to join Pinterest, becoming one of the first 15 employees at the then fledgeling pinboard company.〔〔 In February 2015, Chou signed on as a consultant for the United States Digital Service, a consortium of technology practitioners trying to make government in the United States more efficient. In August 2015, ''TechCrunch'' reported that Chou is a featured maker at Makerbase, a service that "make() it easier for anyone to discover who built some of the most popular websites and apps people use every day." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tracy Chou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
