Microsoft Internship Rejection Lessons

Noah shares a leadership lesson he learned during his Microsoft job rejection after an internship.

"I got rejected from Microsoft after an internship. When you intern, you typically get the job guaranteed - I was one of the few that didn't get it. But I learned something valuable in the job interview that I've never forgotten.

The interviewer told me the best way to lead and coach: 'You give them the football, you tell them where the end zone is, you say here's the boundaries to get to the end zone - how you want to score is up to you.'

I think what I've learned really well over the past 2 years is you don't want to be a seagull. The seagull theory is where you come in, shit, and fly away. I was doing a lot of seagull theory for a few years."
