What projects do you need on your resume to get a software internship at Google/ Microsoft? And more....

In this episode, I answered some more questions from a Reddit AMA
 based on my experience completing 2 internships at Google
and Microsoft and getting full-time SWE offers from both
companies.  


Reddit questions:


1. What types of experiences/projects did you have on your resume
to get an interview? I’m only in my second year but I’ve seen so
many people around me get internships already and I’m at a loss
at where to start. 


2. What is the best way to prep for coding
challenges/whiteboarding while juggling applying to more
internships, school, hobbies, and life? 


3. How do I attend the Grace Hopper conference? Do I need to be
nominated by my school? If my major isn't CS, then is it
impossible for me to attend? 


4. What did you have on your resume for your first internship?
