i spent around 15 s researching the heck out of each company and their products. My aim was to understand the goals that they had for the next six to 12 months. And my sole goal was to have a deep understanding of the company's vision, how they were going to get there. To add all to this, i spent another five hours chatting with employees ind connections at these companies to best understand how to position myself.
