Hinge Career Growth & Development

Hinge values curiosity, continuous learning and career development, recognizing that growth often comes from stepping outside of familiar paths. Employees are encouraged to build new skills, take on challenges and pursue opportunities that expand their expertise, whether they're deepening existing strengths or transitioning into entirely new fields.

“Toward the end of grad school, I realized I was not going to be an academic for a multitude of reasons, so I researched what someone with a PhD in mathematics could do [outside of academia]. This was right around the time that the term ‘data science’ entered the public consciousness, and when googling what the term meant, the top search result was Insight Data Science, a fellowship for academics who wanted to transition into the tech industry. The program ended up being a life-changing experience. Insight's model is self-directed, project-driven learning, and though I had zero programming or machine learning experience at the onset, in six intense weeks I learned enough data modeling, Python, SQL and even JavaScript to build a web app to optimize fantasy baseball lineups. Afterward, I landed a job with one of Insight's partner companies and my career grew from there.”
