We’ve all heard the job titles, but what do people actually do all day?
Hosted by Antonella Masini, MIT alum, "WTF Do You Do?" is a weekly hangout where friends spill the tea on their jobs: the real day-to-day, the skills that actually matter, the parts they love, and the bits that spark their Sunday Scaries. Expect laughs, mild chaos, and zero corporate jargon. The goal: demystify jobs so you can find careers that actually fit you... and save you from an existential crisis.
So the next time someone drops a fancy title, you won’t be left wondering: “WTF do you do?”
