Try to land one of these coveted internships.
Palantir
“Palantir, for a while, was actually above the big companies here. If you did a Palantir engineering internship, you were guaranteed a job anywhere else.”
The Elon Empire
“Tesla was the only actual mechanicalengineering firm other than Apple that let you live in the Bay Area and paid a decent salary, so everyone wanted to go work there. And then you had SpaceX, and they build rockets and they’re not a weird defense contractor.”
“For product managers, the desirable one is the Google associate product-manager internship or the new grad program.”
… But Not Amazon
“I was specifically advised to never work for Amazon. I was told it will make your life hell, they treat everyone really poorly, it’s a toxic culture.”
