Cool to hear about the times your interviews didn't go as planned. Nice to see that even though these feel like failures in the moment, there's a lot you can learn from them!

Hey Kevin!

Thank you so much for making this video - it was INSANELY inspiring for me. As an upcoming new grad from UBC, it feels like I found this video at the perfect time. I can really tell how much effort you put into this one. It really feels like you spoke from your heart, and I strongly resonated with the analogies you made about getting into your dream university.

Watching this gave me a sigh of relief. The three lessons you talked about at the end were exactly what I needed to hear, and now I feel motivated to keep grinding for a job as a new grad (even in these dark times :P). Definitely will be coming back to this one, thanks again! 😊

Man I have failed / been rejected so many times that I am numb to it at this point haha. I agree with everything you said in this video. Have confidence and keep trying. Persistence almost always wins.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Great points Kevin and you’re such a good storyteller!

[khalidisah]

Really helpful. Thanks a lot. I really needed to hear all these facts.

[srs.shashank]

hi Kevin, was amazing to see the clarity of thoughts you have :)

[AkritiKeswani]

I really like how you brought up the point that with more progressive interviews, things do end up working out and sometimes its also just iteration with intent. Good content!!

[fkzgfk]

Dealing with failure is very useful skill to have in general, wish i learned it earlier 😀
Great subject and great video!

[wagnervavasilva]

It was very cool how you showed us the interview process without romanticizing it. Congratulations on the content!

[SamuraiBeavs]

hey kevin! Hey, this makes a great story to tell and sometimes the rejections lead to the biggest success.

[aaymankhalid]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and learnings with us.👏

[AlgosWithMichael]

Definitely their loss! Also, great video editing 👍

[AgathaPempho]

I love this, it's like it was made specifically for me

[InfluentialStudios]

On-site interviews are always a great insight to the company and what the culture is like. Is there anything specific at your current company that really caught your attention during interviewing?

[omartahboub]

From my couple of on site experiences with AWS, the a majority of the questions focused on Behavioral Scenarios.

[sachinkumarsahu]

Hey kevin,
loved your videos .
but can you please make a video on - " certification courses for freshers in terms of gaining extra skills" which can be beneficial to get into a good comapny.

[michaellk]

Be me: get to final FAANG interviews 4 times and fail each one.

Also me: can't find any work even at the worst places now.

Hi kevin. What happened to your leetcode Easy and Leetcode Medium playlists? I used to love working through them in order. I don't see them anymore. Have you made it for pay only now? I'm willing to pay. I need to prep for interviews now. Please let me know how I can access them again? Thanks.

What did you do after these to increase your success for the next interviews? Did proficiency in any language matter?
