Melinda French Gates Left IBM for Microsoft

Melinda French Gates was working at IBM and had a job offer.

Her manager told her to consider a job at a small company called Microsoft.

She was surprised but took the advice and joined Microsoft.

This was a big change because she had to move to a new city and start over.

She worked there for nine years and became very successful.

She now encourages others to take risks and change careers if they want to.

She is one of the richest women in America and credits her success to taking chances.
