1. I had no HN account in the past, I have been following this community for a while but never posted anything. I don't have a blog neither and the email address I added was created for the purpose of this post only so I didn't have to post my regular email address publicly. The name on this address is fake.
2. In the past she has held the titles of Senior Business Analyst and Marketing Manager.
3. I am not a US citizen and marriage for a visa is IMHO a direct way to shoot ourselves in the feet.
5. I'm not a blogger. Just a regular engineer with no blog, and no open source contribs.
6. She did all this. She got some help, obviously not enough to land a job..
