Ep 21 SYCK Tricks for "Multipotentialites": An Interview with AWS's Harold Pietri
Determined to receive prestigious job offers from his preferred companies, Harold Pietri was very strategic in the steps he took to get there. Harold finished his undergrad work in Venezuela before moving to the United States to get his MBA. He wasn't done traveling yet though as he applied to his dream company in Spain to stand out and worked hard to end up back in the states. Now, Harold is an Enterprise Account Executive at Amazon Web Services. In this episode, Harold shares his journey and some strategies he used to get multiple job offers (in multiple fields), and some advice to others working towards their dreams.

- [27:56] How Harold went about securing other job offers as leverage

- There is more than one path to get to where you want to be. It can take some creativity and thinking outside the box to get there.
