ehh

2018-12-10 23:28:09 UTC  

kind of

2018-12-10 23:28:29 UTC  

i think the main issue is the lack of foresight and the propensity to pursue immediate gratification

2018-12-10 23:28:54 UTC  

exactly

2018-12-10 23:29:03 UTC  

like how soon do you think it will be before college numbers drop more because people want to be "youtube or twitch" famous?

2018-12-10 23:29:16 UTC  

rn

2018-12-10 23:29:28 UTC

identity politics

2018-12-10 23:30:19 UTC  

that stuff

2018-12-10 23:30:37 UTC  

regardless, i thought they're known to be hard af to work at

2018-12-10 23:30:41 UTC  

to get into those places, it's about who you know and how you know them

2018-12-10 23:30:48 UTC  

like u need perfect grades, and talent

2018-12-10 23:31:00 UTC  

oh - so say you dont know anyone

2018-12-10 23:31:04 UTC  

how hard is it then

2018-12-10 23:31:04 UTC  

i only got my job at google doing validation engineering because i used to smoke weed and do shrooms with one of the department managers

2018-12-10 23:31:18 UTC  

lol

2018-12-10 23:31:22 UTC  

i don't have a degree, but i have the experience

2018-12-10 23:31:27 UTC  

but not enough to make me stand out

2018-12-10 23:31:44 UTC  

at yahoo, it's because i used to play fighting games with the site director

2018-12-10 23:32:02 UTC  

yeah - how hard would it be for me to get an internship at one of those companies? i've got decent grades

2018-12-10 23:32:03 UTC  

damn thats interesting

2018-12-10 23:32:22 UTC  

internships are tricky because at those places they do put you in a very shit lpace

2018-12-10 23:32:29 UTC  

almost like you're typecasted

2018-12-10 23:32:36 UTC  

as in you'll only get "intern" type work

2018-12-10 23:32:52 UTC  

whats the process like to get in

2018-12-10 23:32:53 UTC  

and they'll dangle the carrot of "full time employee" in front of you to get you to do shit work with shit hours

2018-12-10 23:33:28 UTC  

true - i dont think i even want to work at any company because my dream is to freelance for a living - but the interview process sounds fun

2018-12-10 23:33:42 UTC  

if you say so

2018-12-10 23:33:45 UTC  

lol

2018-12-10 23:34:12 UTC  

i think that if you look at it as a free game it's fun

2018-12-10 23:34:17 UTC  

i enjoy problem soloving

2018-12-10 23:34:18 UTC  

you should watch "silicon valley" it's almost a 100% accurate representation of those aforementioned companies
