...right before I had graduated from my undergrad and was looking for something to do after graduation.

...at that point in my career. I had experience at Princeton's Plasma Physics Labs writing data analysis software for nucelar fusion experiments, experience working on artificial intelligence and natural language processing at Google, had worked at a defense startup, and had over 7 years at a lawfirm

huh? All before graduating?

I had done a little over 30 interviews, and had always gotten an offer

Who the hell does 30 interviews and rejects every last offer? WTF? And then he can't write a function he's already written "hundreds of times"? Am I reading this wrong?



I'm the author. Yes, all that happened during my undergrad (Except my experience at the lawfirm, which started in high school and continued through college. I handled all of their technology related stuff. I wound up doing a lot of consulting for various other firms too through recommendations).

The 30 interviews were all the interviews I've ever done, like jackowayed said.

As far as writing the function goes, yea I was just having an off day, which was the point of the post.


He clearly didn't reject every offer, since he worked at Princeton, Google, a law firm, and more.

I guess they were all/most for summer and part-time jobs. He also may have already interviewed a few times for other jobs to take after graduating.
