Rejected by Harvard Business School, Airbnb and Google #37

Closed jasonshen closed 8 years ago

jasonshen commented 8 years ago

Applied to the Harvard Business School as a Stanford honors grad with a 740 GMAT, no interview. Was rejected from Airbnb for a customer support role and later was passed over for a PM role at Google after 2 phone screens.

I've cofounded a Y Combinator startup (Ridejoy YC S11) and was selected by the White House to serve as a Presidential Innovation Fellow. Today I'm a product manager at Etsy. Timing and fit are everything.

Awesome story, thanks for adding!

Thanks! Note, I had a small typo and needed to add an "a" between cofounded and Y Combinator
