“The New York dream and job application at Google”

I learned about Mr. Xuan Luong when I was "undercover" in the Viet Tech group. I was impressed by an admin who frequently shared a wealth of experience in interviewing and working in big tech companies in the UK and US. Like many individuals in the tech industry, working in big tech is often the dream of many engineers.
I was pleasantly surprised by the story of how he effortlessly transitioned from Bloomberg UK to the US. He simply excelled at his job every day, and his efforts left a lasting impression on his boss, even without his own awareness. With just a casual remark expressing his desire to work in New York, his American Dream became a reality within one year.
I believe in the law of attraction, when you truly desire something, put in the effort to pursue it, and the universe will conspire to assist you. This principle holds true if you have a dream of entering the big tech industry. Another tip is to follow Techie to read more stories about tech professionals working in big tech (hehe).
