Work for knowledge

“Who you work with is more important than how much you earn.”

[Ana Carmen Longobardi]

Why are the internships?

Always opt for a job that adds some kind of value. No matter how much you’ll earn on the short run, the work you do and the people you meet should teach you something that will help you reach your goals in the long run.

Before accepting any position, make sure it is aligned with your objectives and that it will be valuable to you on this path, offering specific knowledge.

In most cases, people spend their lives after fat bank accounts, without necessarily taking into account what they learn throughout that journey. With that, I don’t want to say money doesn’t matter, but that knowledge is where true richness lies.

ALEKSANDAR MANDIC - Of Serbian descent and born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Aleksandar Mandic is a precursor of the country's electronic communication, and became an entrepreneurial case study in Harvard. It was him who brought the Internet to Brazil, and who owned the first access provider. He left a 17-year career in Siemens, and decided it was about time he had his own business back in the 90s - Mandic BBS (Bulletin Board System), an exchange of information by telephonic conection. Mandic has become, upon Internet's arrival, one of the area's giants. One of its most recent releases is Mandic Magic, an app used to reveal public wi-fi passwords no matter where you are. Currently called Wi-Fi Magic, the app became the Brazilian app most downloaded worldwide after only 20 days of its release.
