Since 2011, Schlossberg has written for numerous publications and news outlets, including Time, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, Politico, and CNN. He has also written op-eds for The New York Times, USA Today, and HuffPost.

In 2015, Schlossberg started working at Rakuten, a Japanese internet and e-commerce company, in Tokyo. He also worked at the Japanese distillery Suntory. He met Hiroshi Mikitani, the CEO of Rakuten, while visiting Sendai accompanying his mother on her duties as US ambassador to Japan.

Social media

Schlossberg maintains active and public profiles across several social media platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, and X (Twitter), having nearly 2 million followers.

Dowd says he "feigns being crazy", and "spars and trolls" and "engages in high jinks".
