Interviewing for a Startup Be Like

Interviewing for Mbrlla, a startup that's using AI, blockchain, and big data to disrupt the industry. Mbrlla is like Uber but for umbrellas and it's the next big thing. But they need a rockstar intern to build their MVP to secure funding. So for now, the intern will be paid in equity. Does Nick have what it takes?

Just left a startup, and all the sayings in this video, "leverage machine learning", "revolutionize", the non-tech CEO trying to show off some CS knowledge, are all so god damn accurate.

"Revolutionize", "Disruptive". "Business Development Stage", "Rock star intern" ...so funny

[thomasshaw]

"Is this another rejection email" is literally my default response when I hear my phone vibrate lol

[mikesaddi]

You should pitch a startup called NTERN. They are going to disrupt the industry by paying interns

[Brian-frfv]

Lmao I laughed so hard at “... I’m knic, spelled k n i c... innovative, right?”

[chenadron]

The startup that I once applied for had FOUR rounds of interviews, one behavioral, one technical, and one 30-min proposal presentation and one panel interview ... I nailed it after so much preparation. And guess what? They told me in the end that it was unpaid and justified it by saying things like "But you will gain a lot of valuable experience blah blah blah". Fortunately, I got another offer from a pharmaceutical company that had two rounds of interviews and had good salary imo. Man startup these days really think they are big tech giants huh.

"were using blockchain, cloud computing, and machine learning to revolutionise the industry! So just to confirm, is it the blockchain engineer, the cloud engineer, or the machine learning engineer role that you're applying for?"

[ihtasham]

the big time rush song at the end never misses LMAO

My first "internship" after college, I was the employee[0], the CEO was terrible

[RiteshNEVERUNIFORM]

I can't tell you hiw much I can relate. I was interviewed for an Unpaid internship who wrote in their application description that its paid. They were so confident and wanted a top notch guy that stands out to work for free for them. I boil up when I find these kind of "start up internship"

[junaidrajah]

Holy smokes I had the exact same kind of interview, had to build everything from scratch went from an intern to cto in 4 months and left with a badge on my cv, needless to say the startup is now no more

My first coding job was a startup. The app had been built by an intern who was let go abruptly so I took over everything. Shipped the app by myself (with one backend guy who was CTO) in 3-4 months. No designer no QA or product manager. I learned a ton and got a job at a big corporation after 6 months. Highly stressful but was the only way I could break into the industry as someone self taught.

The only interview I ever did for a startup company was exactly like this. This was spot on

[masaruuchiha]

Played enough Resident Evil to know how Umbrella employees are treated/'paid' :p

[DarkGT]

That's so unrealistic, most of the time you don't even get email rejecting you.

[zerometers]

that emphasis on “revolutionalize” got me 😂😂
keep up the videos - these are awesome

[edwardyang]

I love how all the buzzwords are thrown around by the interviewer, this video is hilarious😂

[rainynight]

For my first internship, Thats exactly what my interviewer(CEO) told me in the interview lmao. I was Employee 0, and he didn't bother trying hiring another one after I joined. I got to design, implement and test his cross platform mobile app and internal admin system. Apart from the pay I really learned a-lot over the year hahhha

[AlexisPaques]

That is exactly how my first experience of a startup was, without everything explained.

"You get to wear many hats!" (but we'll give you a non-competitive salary). Where have I heard this before >_>
