I didn’t go to an Ivy League, but I still landed a full-time offer in Big Tech.
I didn’t go to an Ivy League, but I still landed 25+ interviews from Fortune 500 companies.
I didn’t go to an Ivy League, but I still landed and completed 3 internships at Microsoft.
So here are 3 things that helped me break into Big Tech when I was a college student at a non-top tier university👇
✅ Do lots of mock interviews.
For example, if you want to break into PM internships, it is important to not only read about product case frameworks, but actually apply them.
When I was preparing for Microsoft’s PM Intern interviews, I read the book “Cracking the PM Interview and then then watched mock interviews on Exponent.
However, what truly helped me pass was doing 2-3 mock interviews daily and using peer feedback to improve every day.
✅ Properly prepare for coffee chats.
When you set up a chat with someone, tell them specifically why you want to chat.
Do you want to learn more about the company...
