Emmy Forester’s high-tech life as a Silicon Valley computer engineer and data analyst was as glamorous as a spreadsheet and as thrilling as an A/B test. But her world buzzed with that distinct Silicon Valley energy—the kind that practically radiated ambition, from the kombucha taps in the kitchen to the bean bag chairs positioned strategically for “innovative ideation.” And, of course, there was the almost sacred shrine to caffeine: espresso machines so complex they cost as much as a used car and could probably launch satellites. She couldn’t help but feel an amused fascination with it all. Part of her marveled at the ingenuity and drive surrounding her. These people believed they were changing the world, or at least some small part of it, one algorithm at a time. But recently, a nagging feeling had crept into her mind, whispering that maybe, just maybe, she was chasing after empty numbers for the sake of someone else’s bottom line. And it was not as rewarding as it had been in days past. Last year she had gotten a huge amount of money, a fortune really, when the startup she helped form went public. She now had more money than most Americans could only dream of in their lifetimes. At first, she indulged in luxury items like a complete wardrobe of red-sole designer boots and her dream car, an expensive top brand Electric Vehicle. She made smart investments with some of the money and hired a wealth manager to keep an eye on her asset portfolio. But she realized she didn’t need to work anymore. She did it because she could. And because she didn’t really have a life outside of work.
