Energy drinks, 12 hour days, and staring at computer screens. This is basically how I came to work at OrderWithMe. Hi, my name is Mitch.

About 5 years ago I helped a friend open a retail jewelry store. No one really knew what to do with the POS system, so it ended up in my lap. But you know what? I didn’t mind the tedious, mind numbing and most often frustrating work. I figured it out…assigned SKUs, created barcodes, and organized the inventory. Lets just say I was behind the checkout counter for 12 hours everyday for a full week. You could have built a tower with all the empty energy drink cans. Sadly, the energy drinks here in China are simply not the same… but then again, I don’t drink them, so it ends up being better for my health. So when my friend Jonathan called me over to China to work for his new company 5 years later, I came.
Startups are always fun, challenging, and interesting. Before coming back to China, I was in the beverage industry doing sales. Lets just say I didn’t mind putting in my 2 weeks notice once Jonathan told me he wanted me to come on over. Not that I hated my last job, I mean I learned a lot doing sales and apparently did a decent job (#’s don’t lie
), but I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity.
It didn’t hurt that I had to see about a girl back here in China.
