In this video, I will tell you about a project that I worked on at Airbnb.

Please make sure your subscribe to this channel and stay tuned right now so that you know, we're at a secret spot.

It's writing Saratoga Downtown, which is about an hour away, right in Silicon Valley from San Francisco, and Secret about it is that it's owned by a chef who has a Michelin star restaurant right across the street where apparently Apple has its board meetings.

And in that restaurant, the Michelin star one apparently a shot of what God costs, like $200 or something like that.

But if you don't want to pay that, you just go across the street to this possible spot.

So when I first started at Airbnb, that was in 2015 and I had one of my last inferences there.

I actually was working on the entry team because at the time when I was an intern, when I just learned to code, Andrew was my expertise because that's kind of how I started, I building on dried out.

So I joined their entry team and I told my imprint manager, So Intern manager is a person.

You know, The bad kind of supervises you through your in friendship or actually manages useful hearing.

You have an interim manager, and then you have, like, a real manager off the team.

But you're closer with the intern manager.

And I told him, Christian, those his name Christian, I really want to also learn the back and world besides just learning the android stuff.

Because, you know, as a person who doesn't have a degree in computer science or in software engineering, I just want to expend my horizons.

And honestly, guys like internships are an incredible opportunity to just learn a lot of stuff.

Be a part of the company, be a part of the team just in general, you know, understand what?

And speaking of which I'm going to be hosting and webinar on how to get internships at top tech companies, which I personally have a lot of experience with.

This Webinar will be launching on Yeah, like announcing it now, and it's gonna start on June 21st.

You should totally check it out at life of new but dot com slash internship.

There's gonna be a tano valuable information about how to kick start your career.

So I told Christian, you know, I want to learn something else besides 100 roll off the interim manager besides managing, you also make sure that you're successful in your internship.

You will learn something exciting to you, and different companies do differently.

But Airbnb was very flexible to, you know, cater my needs and interests, which was so amazing.

So I ended up working on this really big project that is actually still in the app, which is super exciting.

So, you know, at a company like Airbnb and other big companies, they always try to make sure that entrance do something that would actually be impactful by away.

I might be building out a studio in the space here.

This is my boyfriend's new office, and, you know, we'll see if I actually end up doing it.

But I can just imagine, you know, Couch here is some cameras.

Perhaps I would build out in a podcast studio when I bring people on life Noble life show that just launched and you should check out.

I've heard people from Google say interns from Google say that Oh, they worked on some small thing that was kind of scraped off after they finish their internship on.

Of course not to say that inference upset Google are bad or anything off course you like, Still learned a ton, but because it was such a big company, it's hard, You know?

Thio have what so many entrance give them all these projects that are actually gonna go to production immediately because it takes such a long time for it to actually going production.

I was lucky for him to cater to my needs.

So he gave me this project that was collaborative wishlist and collaborated.

Wish list was essentially, you know, the wish list and feature that there is there in air being viewer.

You can hard listings or hard experiences and they will be safe to your wish list.

So what this project was was making these wishlist collaborative.

And we wanted to make sure that you can add your friends, invite your friends to those wish lists and also have, like, upload and features.

They're you know, let's say you're going on a trip of your friends and you want to pick where you're gonna stay so that you and your friends can upload a bunch of listings that you like, so that you can actually decide where you want to stay.

And then people were able to comment on it also.

So that was an amazing project, because I got to build both the android part of it.

So how this collaborative wish list is gonna look like how people are gonna see it.

Collaborators stood and I got a chance to build the AP.

I score it also, I was responsible for building old AP.

I was working in a team off, I think four people.

It was one Web engineer and to IOS engineers.

What was really cool is that I was the only person building that back and system that supported all these other engineers.

So I was like a full on, you know, part of the team of full time employees.

I was the only intern on deposits and I felt really empowered.

I felt like I had, you know, I had this project that was super impactful.

The other thing is that they actually announced it at this, like, annual announcement events, and they're being view that collaborative wish list was a thing.

You know, I got Thio build the back and for it and build the end for its side for it.

And that again, you know, speaks to the fact that even as an interim, you could have a lot of impact.

And you can create something that is gonna be used by in this case, actually, like, useful for billions of people.

And that's why I'm such a huge advocate for student for people doing internships.

And that's again why I'm lunching this webinar life of you dot com slash internship.

So, yeah, that was the project that that was like my first ever projects at Airbnb.

And for those of you already know me and my channel, I ended up going to air being beautiful time after that internship.

Because inferences are also amazing opportunity to get a full time job afterwards.

I guess this video is not sponsored by Air B.

V And check out the collaborative whistling that I actually built, like, four years ago.

Don't forget to give it a life on a subscriber.

As always, there's gonna be a more stories, more personal content, more content about attack.

And I also just launched my life of noble life.

 Hope you have a wonderful, wonderful rest of the day.
