Thank you for sharing your experience! Big props to the CEO for showcasing such humility in his position, very inspirational

Josh, thank you for sharing. These are a joy to watch, keep them coming!

Hi Josh,

I can closely relate with your standardized testing struggles. At one point, during CE undergrad, it felt that exam after exam I could go in knowing the material front & back, only to let myself down and be left wondering what had just happened/if I even belonged. That mental impasse that would present itself, unbreakable. It wasn’t that I couldn’t function under pressure, on the contrary. Standardized testing had this effect. Open response exams were/are my preference.

Thank you for sharing Josh,

never had been here earlier but despite that your story is really inspiring, and I can see the amount of effort you like to put in by the way you speak alone,
Thanks for sharing your story Josh, and your grind to MIT is really motivational

Thank you for sharing, Josh. These videos are genuinely helping people like myself at the start of their careers make decisions that will have large impacts on their life.

It’s important to note that success without a big university on your CV is more than possible, and you do not have to attend an Ivy League university to be accomplished in life.

It took you a bit of a luck and obviously a lot of hard work, but it is amazing seeing where you are now and I look forward to seeing the JustJosh tech channel grow!

I admire you giving up your high paying job and business to help others with your YouTube channels.

I don't understand those questions getting into MIT is very easy you just have to walk through a front door😂😂

Thanks for sharing this story, truly inspirational.

I would like to know more about your experience during the MBA, the courses, your professors and how you coordinate between job and school.

You're a great inspiration, I love these types of videos

[TheOnlyName]

Wow, what an amazing story with the insurance CEO!

[bovs]

Hi Josh! lovely video. Given your extensive experience in investment banking, how about a video related to the best way to network at an IB event and make the best first impression? That's I think something that most students struggle with in university because not enough is talked about the importance of networking

UNSW slander is insane, some sources rank us 20th worldwide :(

[nickgibra]

Josh thank you, you are cooking with these videos. Very inspiring and also actually useful tips.

As a software developer myself who just started a professional career, I would love to hear more from you about how a junior software dev can move up the ladder quickly and improve their career opportunities, be it working multiple jobs, earning certifications or applying for masters.

Thank you!

Thanks for the video, I was also thinking about something similar the other day about for when the time comes how would I potentially apply to universities outside the UK for PhD's. Also I was wondering how comes you never mention the name of the bank you worked at despite it being publicly known on LinkedIn?

Hi Josh, just discovered this channel after commenting on your last lunar lake review :) subscribed, it all seems interesting !
What are your thoughts on online certificates delivered by MIT ? As someone from France who already has a bachelors and masters in management, financial planning and analysis... i'm intersted in digital transformation certificate they offer but it costs around 30K, and i'm not really sure if it's worth it... and with it all being "only a certificate" would it really be that much of an upgrade on the resume ?

Thanks in advance for your advice !

Great video! Here's an interesting question - how do you balance doing an MBA/Masters with family life and other responsibilities? Also, how did you fund it, scholarships or did you pay for it yourself?

For context, I graduated from Imperial College London with a Masters in Aerospace Materials and currently work as an SDET. I would love to do another Masters in either CompSci or an MBA, but I struggle with balancing everything and especially funding my studies

[fullmetalman]

Can you cover how your master's degree helped you? How did it influence your career or your life? Do you feel you needed to do it before your mba?
