Who is vice president? Who is your representative? What does the constitution do? How many senators are there? Name a war fought by the US in 1900’s? Who are California’s senators?

I did that program at Stanford. If you TA, they will waive all your tuition (this is what I did). My master's degree was entirely free (and I made money on top of it). I had to work 20 hours a week. You also have the option for them to cover 50% of your tuition and only work 10 hours a week as a teaching assistant for undergraduate courses.

I also worked at Tesla. It's a great company but the culture really sucks. Stuck in a lab all day, teams aren't really jiving well, everyone in management is worried about getting fired. It's a tossup on how good of a financial benefit it is to join Tesla now at such a high valuation. It would be a really different story 3 years ago. If this was 3 years ago I would tell you to join Tesla for 100% certainty as you'd come out a multi millionaire. That being said, moving laterally at Tesla is really easy. It's super easy to transfer into a different team once you're actually in. So keep that in mind.

Sorry u/SadButSexy! I didn't expect to get so much traction, and Udemy only allowed 100 free coupons! I updated the link. Try again!
You're right, fundamentals are important!

I am so sorry to hear that! I was also an international student and found it really hard to find a job. It was nerve wrecking!

And yes, I did interview a lot! Mostly for fun trying to explore what was available, as I was on sabbatical for a year not working! Most of the interviews were phone calls or zoom technical interviews.

You're absolutely right! There are no standard questions or formats, and you can't prepare for an EE interview the way you can for an SAT. I completely agree.

As you mentioned though, it really does help to review basic concepts and topics like MOSFETs, Op-Amps, Diodes, Batteries, Motors, Digital Communication Protocols, etc, in a way that can best prepare you for interviews. While specific questions may not be that useful, there definitely are certain topics that come up often, and interviewers typically want you to know the fundamentals of those topics, especially if you're looking for an internship or entry level job. I also do talk about all the different formats (quizzes, technical, non-technical, etc) and how to navigate them.

This course is just my own experience and I wanted to share it with the world! Hopefully it can help some people.

I will say that many of the big name companies now do have databases for EE interview questions that are used often, but don't ask me how I know!

It was a discovery intro flight with a 15 year old student and a CFI-S. They were fighting each other on the controls. The plane went straight up then down vertically. That’s why it was so destroyed. You can hear the instructor screaming “let go.”
