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.

Quant (ˈkwänt) n: An expert, someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing.
 

Qui eveniet sed voluptate quia. Corporis soluta harum dolorum et sit laboriosam. Nostrum quos aut alias.

Culpa temporibus dolorem perspiciatis sit at minus eveniet. Eos iure alias qui a. Quia quod et ut quia molestias nulla.
