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

like u need perfect grades, and talent

oh - so say you dont know anyone

how hard is it then

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

lol

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

but not enough to make me stand out

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

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

damn thats interesting

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

almost like you're typecasted

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

whats the process like to get in

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

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

if you say so

lol

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

i enjoy problem soloving

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

no i meant the interviewing part

is it on netflix

most people interviewing you have spergs and ZERO personality

i don't think so

but you can torrent it

it's an hbo show

lol, i'm in anime mode rn so that's why im optimistic

ty

that's ok

keep that energy

just focus it

doesn't matter where you draw inspiration from as long as you channel it correctly

yeah, i usually learn programming while i'm excited

any advice on how to channel it?

nope

what works for me won't work for you and vice versa

we're different people

is there an over arching principle tho?

sounds like you're on the right path and you're committed to growth
