And so you're looking at this like, I didn't even know that they do that.

We know that it happens.

But the person that graduated from high school in 1999 that chose the A-plus certification didn't know that was available, even while I was at Google having all the success.

And Google paid me pretty well too.

But I know you can add another zero still.

And so I'm like, whoa, this is crazy.

And I'm like, wow.

So I showed my wife and she was the one that said, you should just go interview, like put your ego to the side and let's go see what's out there.

So shout out to my wife.

And so I get the PDF and I'm like, okay, this number is perfect.

Honestly, I don't know what to say, but just find out.

Like, is this really the only number?

So I remember giving a counter.

Like, you know what?

I think it should be this.

And the funny thing is Microsoft countered back higher.

So we're not playing around.

I'm like, oh, now I understand that I don't understand this part of the game.

And so I have this offer and I knew that I wasn't going to go interview there if I wasn't serious about taking it.

So I was serious about going to Microsoft.
