In my last post, I mentioned that there are 2 points of failure when getting a job or internship. There’s the failure to get the interview, and then there’s the failure to pass the interview. This post will be about addressing the first kind of failure.

How you have you found success in your interviews?

I received this question in responses to a post I made. Instead of answering it directly, I want to take a step back and answer a broader question which includes it.

I had the opportunity to do an internship at Google for the Summer of 2019. It was a great learning experience where I was exposed to many different technologies, and got to work on an interesting problem.

In the fall of 2018, I had the opportunity to do an internship at Wish. I worked as an Android developer at their San Francisco HQ. As a part of our onboarding process, we were given $100 USD in Wish Cash to get familiar with the app. So I was in the unique position of being both a user and a developer for Wish.
