Why Moving to Better Was The Right Career Move for Me
Having experienced the long, confusing mortgage process recently myself, I was drawn to Better as soon as I heard about them. I could see the huge opportunity in front of this company that was leveraging modern technology and automation to revolutionize the mortgage industry. I wanted to be part of it. Innovation has always been my biggest motivation. Getting the chance to have a real impact in an organization like Better and helping them grow and succeed, was exciting.
