>> My advice for college students would be two-fold.
You have anywhere from two to four years, depending on where you start trying to look
into who you want to work for, and I would recommend taking that seriously.
Making sure that you're looking for a company that you think matches your values,
that you think will invest in you in the long-term, and then once you find that company,
be more invested in that company
than necessarily the first job offer you're going to get from them.
I wouldn't worry as much about the dollars and cents, or the location.
All those things will come in time.
But make sure you're finding the company that is right for you.
And once you start, if the going gets tough, grind it out.
I meet so many students that, unfortunately, there might be a disconnect
between how much they think they could give back to the company initially
between how much rope they're getting, they hit the reset button and go try somewhere else.
But they often come calling back to me and saying they're not happy
and the grass isn't greener on the other side.
When someone actually does stick it out over the course of time,
almost all companies do reward that.
