REVIEW

Seungwoo Jeong
“This is Yosemite.” That’s real. That was Yosemite. I can’t express the magnificent of nature. I was overwhelmed by scale and beauty of Yosemite. I truly recommend this tour if you are planning to visit SF.
Minjun Cha
I could see why yosemite is the best landscape in the world. It was a day soaked with the beauty of nature. I keep reminding this comment. “This is Yosemite…!”
Seunghwan Hong
Breathtaking; this word explains all my experiences at there. Stunning view makes me calm and peaceful. I will never forget that.
Hyeonggeun Eom
How can I express it in text? In front of Mother Nature, I was so small and small. I remember this phrase most memorably. “This is Yosemite!”

Interview with Hohyon Ryu @ Airbnb Software Engineer

Innovation comes when I think about the problem I want to solve.
The One Thing That Never Changes is Change!

Q1.

Is it essential for you to work in the US?

Ryu : Employment in the United States is much more favorable for masters and doctorates. This is because they really want an expert here. Soo : The bachelor is not disadvantageous.. The Master’s advantage is that he has studied the field further. Drs can rather narrow their capabilities.

Q2.

Does not anyone make a decision in Silicon Valley?

Rather than making a decision, they help us.

Q3.

How can the corporate culture of our country change to the era of innovation?

The distribution of the decision must be made above. Large companies themselves have to collapse or start up a lot.

Q4.

Is it meaningless to work hard?

In the United States, it is important to do well in the end.

Q5.

What is your mission?

Innovations in US real estate payment systems using block chains

Q6.

What do you mean that a company is constant and change is variable?

Companies in Korea should not be destroyed. You have to adapt to change. Change is natural in Silicon Valley. The company is a variable that is lost and created. The only constant is change.

Q7.

I think the government’s policy hinders the development of Silicon Valley. What do you think about this?

In fact, what the government takes is not a big blow to Silicon Valley. Money is a virtuous cycle because the market economy is activated differently from Korea.

Seungwoo Jeong
"The One Thing That Never Changes is Change!”, I was really touched by his speech and mission.
Minjun Cha
It was an interesting lecture to learn about the differences in corporate culture between Korea and Silicon Valley. It was good to hear about future trend.
Seunghwan Hong
He shows us how great if we combine other learnings to the CS. It was my goal too. He was a developer from Twitter who makes the language processing library which I used. I absolutely surprised! It was nice moment.
Hyeonggeun Eom
I could see how powerful computer science is when combined with other majors. He knew what he could do, and his strength was certain. I was envious of that.

Pub Crawl with International Travelers

Good chance to communicate with foreigners

“ There’s a pub crawl run by volunteers at hostels in SF so that there’s a place for backpackers and locals to meet each other. The event gets a bunch of travelers from all over the city along with locals. Come join us, have some drinks, and meet some new peeps. We do a weekly rock-paper-scissors tournament pub crawl on Wednesdays. Everyone competes while moving from bar-to-bar so that it’s easy to meet new people. Winner of the tournament gets a bar tab. We mainly get about 50-60 backpackers who are staying at hostels around the city. “

Do you want to make new friends?

I can learn a lot of software related seminars, but I recommend going to various social meet ups because you can network with other people and get a chance to communicate in English. It was a really fun time, and it seems to be a good place to make foreign friends.


REVIEW

Seungwoo Jeong
Real networking time! I made some friends and also be a linkedIn friend. One of them is working in Visa as a web app developer and others are data analyst in synopsys. We did rock-scissor-paper game and many conversations. Really good time to know each other and practice English!

Tour Dream Company, Google.

David is a UX designer in Google and we met at Tech-Talk. He invited us to Google plex, so I visited the Google head office and ate a delicious lunch. We visit 3 different restaurant (food truck, asian noodle restaurant, main restaurant), we were really full, but can’t stop eating..! There are fitness club, cafe, restaurants, bikes, zip-car, and even massage center. Employees in Google can concentrate on work completely, that’s why Google has best engineers.


REVIEW

Seungwoo Jeong
Google is the best company I ever have been to. Facilities, employees, restaurant, and bike.. just everything was perfect. Google tries to make best working environment for employees and doesn’t spare money for them. I think that’s why the Google is the best company. I want to visit here again as a googler! :)
Minjun Cha
Fantastic! Awesome! Everything was perfect. It was like a big village. Freedom came from the clothes of the employees. If I were an employee, I could not find a reason to leave the company. I love David.
Seunghwan Hong
Google was my dream company, and I used to hear about their campus facilities. It was more good as I expected! Huge thanks to David for allow us to tour all over the campus and kindly guide us!
Hyeonggeun Eom
There is a village where only great people live. Outside of campus is awesome and lifestyle of employees is perfect! I really wanna make a company like Google for my employees.

REVIEW

Seungwoo Jeong
Soooooo nice food! Teahoon mentor is a really great chef. We had a wonderful time at his house with Donghyun and Soohyun mentor. They told about company culture of google and youtube and emphasized about leetcode. Today’s lesson : ‘Leetcode code is the best.’
Minjun Cha
The world seems unfair. He is perfect. I did not know he would cook well. I had a deep conversation with the mentors. It was really helpful. Later, I thought that I would like to be a person who enjoys this culture with these people.
Seunghwan Hong
Mentor Taehoon has amazing skill to making some food! I had very long and valuable talk with mentors. They tell us about some important things to get a job in here. Delicious wine did nice support for that talk :)
Hyeonggeun Eom
Taehoon is perfect guy. How perfect foods are! A lot of people went bustling, but it was a very pleasant and happy time.
