If You Could Work At Any Company, Which Would You Choose & Why?

Anticipating plenty of Google, Centerview, Blackstone, KKRTiger Global but interested in all answers in general. 

I would personally choose Google. Cop-out answer but always loved the idea of working there. 

 

RedBull 100%. I’m a huge car enthusiast, skier, and adrenaline junkie, so it would be a dream to be part of a company that sponsors tons of the motorsport and snow sports events that I love. Other cool companies would be Lamborghini, Pagani, K2 Skis, or even NVIDIA. The dream job is probably test driver/ rider for an automaker or ski company. I’m starting out at a boutique bank, but I’m hoping to gain some corp dev skills and make my way to one of these companies down the line.

 

For finance, In-Q-Tel. A lot of of reasons could be listed, but my “why” largely relates to their mission, the exposure to groundbreaking technologies, their influence, and the “quiet professional” culture.

For non-finance: NVIDIA, SentinelOne, CalypsoAI. I have a lot of interest in both cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.

 

In-Q-Tel sounds really interesting, wasn't aware something like that really existed. Makes me kind of think of DARPA.
