How a Global Career Path from Within WeWork Led to Growth and Purpose

Lara Perlstein graduated with a psychology degree and wasn’t really sure where to go next. She decided to take a job in retail, and she worked her way up to store manager. Over the next few years, she worked multiple different jobs as office managers and administrative assistants, believing that all of the unique experiences she was having would only help to benefit her future. Eventually, she found herself running out of ways to move up and gain new experiences in the corporate world—through which she had been treading for so long—so she began seeking something new. A friend from college had created a startup called WeWork that was growing quickly at the time. She applied there, and it ended up being her home for the next almost five years until she found her way to Teal—which is where she resides today as Vice President of Operations. Join Lara in this episode of Nonlinear as she shares her life’s journey of specializing in being a generalist!
