Do You Have Any Advice For Students?

Truthfully, it comes down to networking. Today, the first few rounds of hiring have few (if any) real people involved. Human connection is necessary to get to the next step. It really is who you know.

Take the prestigious university you worked your way into, and make it work for you by tapping into career services and the alumni network. And then, when you get to where you want to be, be that helpful for someone else.

Lastly, dare to do something you might truly enjoy. Get a minimum of 5 years experience working for other people, so you can make mistakes that don’t cost you too personally. Then be bold.
