Jacqueline, 25, NYC

6:00am: Alarm goes off; I begrudgingly get out of bed knowing I can't pay another missed workout class fee

6:05am: Quickly (and messily) make my bed – it's always a great way to start your day on the right foot, and I know I'll thank myself later when I get home.

6:30am: Dressed and ready to go, I leave the apartment and groan when I see it's no longer light outside this early. I take a quick walk to the nearest Citibike station and check-in to a bike. Citibiking has become my newest hobby, though I've nearly been hit by cars/pedestrians several times already. So grateful my company covers their annual membership!

7:00am: Walk into the Tribeca Solidcore studio, energized and ready to crush this class

8:00am: I quickly bike home and take a short detour to my fave coffee shop for a matcha latte.

8:30am: Showered and in my #MondayMerch uniform, I open my windows and log on for the day

9:00am onwards: The first calls of the day begin, and talking to candidates always makes the day fly by. In between calls I check my email, liaise with clients, slack my coworkers and spend the day reaching out to some rockstars on LinkedIn. I truly love my job.
