| 0:00.0 | Hello, why not? My name is Jesse Mekim, and this is podcast number 467 for YNAB, where |
| 0:09.5 | we teach you four rules to help you stop leaving paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt, |
| 0:12.9 | and save more money. Today, we're going to take a little bit of a detour, though, and |
| 0:17.1 | we're going to answer a question that we get all the time, and it is related to how you |
| 0:22.6 | get a job here at YNAB. And we're at the start of the year, and good budgets that we are, |
| 0:27.4 | we look ahead, and we think, how do we get this job done? And what do we need to do it? |

| 1:32.4 | but we're going to answer a question that we get asked all the time, how do you get a |
| 1:36.1 | job with YNAB with our very own Emma? |
| 1:39.0 | Introduce yourself, tell everyone on the podcast or listen to the podcast who you are and |
| 1:45.7 | what you do here at YNAB, maybe how long you've been here as well. |
| 1:49.7 | So I am Emma. I have been at YNAB for four years. It was August of 2016. I started as a part-time |
