The imperative

Let's look at all the offers that I've ever had in my life.

Future simple

We'll just go through the offers in Tech because you guys probably don't care about the fact that I worked out with dogs, even though that McDonald it was a pretty fine job.

To-infinitive

I don't want to brag, but was the top performing employees.

You know, High terror company would be like in and out, but I didn't get an offer from them.

So you know, it's the reason why I like where he had so much because it reminds me of the good old times, the humble beginnings of Joe Mattek.

Now I want to explain that I went to University of Waterloo, the best school in Canada.

But for Canada in Waterloo, we usually have to do 5 to 6 internships.

Once a mystery at school one semester, you do an internship once a mystery at school, when semester, your internship, blah blah blah.

So the system in which we apply to jobs is called job mine, apparently announced called Waterloo Works or something like that.

But so in job, mind a record, all of your job application.

Actually, they only remember all the ones that you had an interview for.

And then you go either have three things.

It means the company does not want you at all or you're ranked because some companies, they only hire maybe one intern for the season and then because they only hire one intern.

What they do is that the rank the interviewees.

Usually your first coop term, your first internship.

It's pretty bad on everyone in Canada or in Waterloo wants to go to Cali.

It means you either go to California to get a job or you bust, meaning you just get nothing, which is kind of a risky move.

It means you just apply to all California jobs because that's, you know, Silicon Valley and then If you don't get any job, your pre flocked.

I had 11 interviews, Uh, note that I applied to 50 jobs because 50 was a maximum.

So I applied to 50 jobs and then I had 123456 six ranked or offer 1234 I had four offer and two ranked.

Now let's look at the unranked one real quick.

I got pounds here interview for my first term, which is pretty crazy now, usually the only hire seniors, which is true because they didn't hire me.

But then again, I was extremely unqualified for it.

You know, I just started coding I didn't know anything about software engineering, but I got pretty damn far because I think what I did was they came to our school to talk about Palin Terry and stuff like that.

And then I started talking or chatting with one of the person.

He was a Ford deploying engineer, and apparently he was from Montreal to us.

So I'm from Montreal to butt LeBlanc the block.

And then he was able to get me an interview, which is very rare, but yeah, and then I pass the phone interview and they're quite impressed.

But then, once I got to the on site, it's not really an on site.

They actually come to Waterloo to data interview.

Yeah, there's no fucking way I know anything.

Like I didn't know anything about computers back then.

I didn't know anything about software engineering, so yeah, I felt it easy peasy.

Yeah, so, like the first jobs you usually get, like you a positions or, you know she d positions and that that's exactly what I got as you see Q A for Bank of America.

And then I did not get quantitative research.

While that must be really hard core job quantitative research microphone Shelton, get that these are to learn, or that's actually a good first company to be at in Waterloo, but didn't get that.

Oh, but I got the Q A version the Q A developer for it, but I did not take that Indian.

I took Scotiabank because as analysts credit and equity derivative, that's actually a financial engineering position.

So I've had friends that went there, and it's a pretty legit job.

My friends were seniors or juniors, and they had this job.

So to get it as a freshman, I was pretty proud.

And then if we go to the second year as a sophomore, as you can see, I got 1233 offers, one ranked and then 123455 rejection out of all of these interviews.

So this one, I was actually pretty happy I worked pretty hard for and fortunately, I got a lot of these finance slash tech jobs.

I got an offer from Bloomberg That was like the first offer I got.

And I was quite happy because Bloomberg for a second coop is pretty legit.

I think because I want to go to America, I even told my advisor I said, I want to go to America But then my advisor told me, No, you shouldn't do that.

If I listen to him, I probably wouldn't have been, you know, working at these nice cos nowadays, but yeah, he literally said, don't even think about it.

So what I did was I applied to only American jobs.

So it's kind of like Callie or Bus, but and said It's America or bust.

Oh, actually, actually, it's more than just three offer.

But the thing about employers is, sometimes they call you.

If not, then I'm not gonna I'm not gonna rank You're not gonna offer you because it's count, like a game theory thing or a matching problem.

But, you know, I got cooler job offers like civil investment.

I actually have a video that talks about Citadel, so Yeah, check that out if you want.

By the way, at this point, I started knowing how to crack the interview.

I mean, I'm not gonna talk about how exactly like what I did to get the offers because already made videos of that.

And also I have a whole course on it called Tech interview pro dot com, which is really good.

I mean, you should check it out now because there's a 50% off currently for Labor Day week.

Um, it's it's pretty much a video course that teaches you exactly how to ace an interview.

And there's like a private Facebook group where we answer questions and there's, like, life human A where we host, like, every two weeks.

If you're preparing Thio interview, it's really good.

I'm super proud of this course and yeah, I hope I hope that you guys would enjoy it, too.
