What does it really take to work at a startup in San Francisco or Singapore, two of the world’s fastest tech hubs?

3- hour sleep rhythm and some black magic? Nope.  

 

Quite average tech stack and a curious mind eager to learn.

When applying for a startup job abroad or a tech internship it’s better not to worry too much about mastering every single skill and requirement listed on the job description. In the tech scene, the products and services tend to evolve rapidly, so what is important is the ability to adapt to new situations. Startups look for people who are curious, eager to take initiative and able to learn new skills. Instead of knowing everything in beforehand, it’s normal to just crawl through Google, Quora and Stack Overflow for answers.
