our story
hey.
i'm ronit. i built wonderin because most students are making huge life decisions with almost no information. including me, a few years ago.
i didn't know product management existed until i accidentally interviewed for one.
i was building side projects, talking to users, writing code to make stuff work. just doing what seemed interesting.
someone told me to interview for a pm role. i had no idea what that meant. turns out, i'd been doing the work the whole time without knowing it was a career.
i got lucky. but that luck bothered me.
how many other paths are out there that students just... don't know about?
most of us are choosing from a menu we can't see.
when you're 18, 20, 22 — someone asks "what do you want to do?" and you say... engineer? doctor? mba? not because you know what those jobs actually involve. but because those are the only options you've heard of.
it's like being asked to pick your favorite food when the only things you know exist are rice and dal. you might love japanese food. mexican. thai. but if you've never heard of them, how would you choose?
you can't choose what you don't know exists.
so students run. toward something that feels safe. toward whatever everyone else is doing. toward whatever their parents recognise.
sometimes, when the noise gets loud enough, running feels easier than standing still. disappearing feels safer than being seen.
but you're supposed to stop running eventually.
stop chasing what everyone else says you should want. stop following the path. stop running toward some imaginary "safe" destination.
you're supposed to find yourself.
but what happens when you stop running and don't like what you see?
what happens when you've spent four years studying something, stopped to look at yourself, and realised: this isn't me. i don't want this. i don't even know if i'm good at this.
what then?
you find someone who's been there.
not a career counsellor with a framework. not a relative with decade-old advice. someone who was exactly where you are, made one different decision, and survived it.
proof that the path exists. proof that someone walked it.
that's what seek is.
a place to find the people who took the roads that aren't on the map. talk to them. understand what their day actually looks like. figure out if that's the thing you've been looking for.
show up uncertain. build your way to clarity.
someone once said all their best work was just banging on about love and amazingness. we think that's what this is too — just pointed at the one question that actually matters.
who do you want to become?
