Should I Sacrifice My Sleep So I Can Work More?

In this video, I'll talk a little about sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation is when you give up your sleep in exchange of other "more important tasks".

Today I received a question from a reader asking me about sleep deprivation. In this video, he asked me if it was ok to sacrifice his sleep in order to work more and advance in his career.

While this may seem like the "best option" at the moment. You need to think about sustainability, personal health, and overall performance?

Do I Need A Prestigious Degree To Get Hired By A Big Company?

This is a question I receive a lot: "John, do I need a prestigious degree to get hired by a big company?".

People fear that they won't be able to get hired by a big company like Google or Microsoft if they don't possess a prestigious degree. Is is true?

Big companies have merely two ways of recruiting people: 1- They use recruiters and get people right from universities. Those are the really big universities, the prestigious one. 2- They get a referral.

If you don't fit on the first option, there is definitely other paths you should follow to get hired by a big company. Bottom line is: No... You actually DON'T need a prestigious degree to get hired by a big company.
