Job Application as an Entrepreneur | My First Million Podcast

About this video

Sam and Shaan discuss their past job interview experiences, sharing stories of rejections from companies like Stripe, Uber, and Airbnb. They then explore what criteria they would use today to choose a company to work for, considering factors like management quality, company growth trajectory, equity potential, and industry trends like biotech and self-driving cars.

Key takeaways

• Both hosts have experience interviewing at high-growth startups early in their existence (Stripe at ~50-100 people, Uber and Airbnb in their first 100), though they didn’t always succeed or accept offers
• Sam argues that identifying talented managers and company culture would be a better selection criterion today than it was when he was actually job hunting
• Shaan proposes that if seeking wealth, the optimal strategy would be joining a fast-growing startup at 10-50 people, an enterprise B2B sales role with large deal sizes, or emerging fields like biotech and autonomous vehicles
