We break down how he landed tech internships without a CS degree, used referrals to get offers from Google, Amazon, and Uber, and built an interview system after getting rejected by Microsoft.We also unpack why you don't need full software skills to get hired at big tech, his LeetCode strategy, and why he walked away from $500K to pursue startups and content in his 20s.If you're breaking into tech or questioning the 9-to-5, this episode is a must-listen.Computer science students, new grads, and software engineers…want to land your dream software engineering job or internship?
