- I've been watching Matt's CZcams@matthuang21 videos for a while and I have to say I just CLICK with his content. It was a lot of fun diving deep with Matt on this podcast. I had the chance to explore his thoughts on his career as a former consultant at BCG, investment banker at Solomon Partners. And by the time when I post this video, he has already moved to work at Google, so huge congrats to you on that Matt!!! Highly recommend you all check him out if you are looking into careers in consulting/finance/tech because he's done them all!! Matt's also a deep thinker in many topics that I can relate to - career path planning, how does prestige/labels work, growing up with Asian parenting and philosophical debates on personal growth. I learned a lot from him and I'm sure you will too. Hope you'll enjoy this episode:)

Hard agree on things seeming much more “put together” from the outside prior to joining a large company. You learn very quickly after joining that they still are trying to figure things out the same as everyone else.
Yes Will! Agreed! We are all normal human beings trying to get things done:)
Great interview
Thanks Jared!
