In today's video, I walk through the steps I took to go from a Yale Computer Science Major to a full Software Engineer Intern at Amazon, under the Amazon Web Services Cryptography division.

this comment made my day
Would love to see interview prep
Thanks for the video! I found it very helpful, not looking to work for Bezos myself but I'll keep those things in mind when applying for other tech companies
a video about interview preb would be awesome !! great video, not too long but got everything i wanted to know.
Would love the interview prep as well!
Would love to see the interview prep!
Would love to see interview prep!
Thanks Josh! I found this video very helpful, although, I wish I had seen it a few months earlier. Also, it seems like every single "engineering" job application is a software engineering job, and you have endless options. Where is the Aerospace Engineering representation?
I’m in the second semester of my freshman year and I feel like I’m really far behind when it comes to coding as I don’t really have any prior experience. Do you think I should I start learning more on my own right now?
Can you make a video on your journey to becoming fluent in French? I remember you studied French in college and studied abroad.
How much time outside of your schoolwork / courses did you dedicate to improving your software engineering skills?
Hi Josh, I am interested to know which program language did you used for the coding interview?
Do a video on Resume and Interview prep, thanks
Step 1. Attend Yale. Step 2. Apply for job. Step 3. Get immediate interview because you went to Yale.

Amazon actually gives interviews almost all the time if you pass their online assessment

Do you have any tips on interviewing? Like dealing with nerves and maybe anything you do to maintain a calm mind etc.

Honestly, I just rehearse my answer for the "So tell me about yourself" question, for some reason after practicing that, everything else flows nicely in the interview and it also boosts your confidence, because you feel prepared. There will probably always be some slight nerves, but remember to breathe and go with the flow and you'll turn out great.
I have several friends who worked at Amazon as devs. They all hated it.
Just got my first Software Engineering internship at a popular Fintech company and they didn't even have to do a coding challenge interview. Just goes to show every company has a different interview process.

How was the interview like? I mean, what kinda questions did you get asked then? If not coding?

@@nitheshbonugu Started with a virtual hire view interview with behavioral questions. Then I had a 1 on 1 interview with a software engineer who asked me simple questions regarding what languages I use most and projects I have made. I recall him asking me to tell the difference between private, public, and protected. Pretty basic stuff. Company was Broadridge if you are curious.
please share your resume how did you get noticed? what about for int3rnationals looking to apply for amazing in USA?
ELON! lol interesting video that's for sure easy to understand
