The trip to Silicon Valley my classmates and myself are attending this coming March should be a great experience. I anticipate that our trip will give me better insight to the daily operations of large companies such as Google and Apple. Also I hope this trip will help make me better connected so when I graduate I can have as many opportunities open to me when looking for a career.
Some expectations I have when I take this trip is to get a better understanding on how and why startup business tend to do significantly better in the Silicon Valley area. in one article I read on Silicon Valley, it mentions that a potential reason for the success of startup companies, is how many people are drawn to the area, especially recent graduates from universities. Another expectation I have from this trip is to get a better sense of the atmosphere of Silicon Valley, which I have been hearing much about. From an article I read it states that "startups in Menlo Park, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and Sunnyvale have 20 times the average quality of the median, and 90 times that of the lowest-ranked cities in California".
What I truly hope to gain from the trip is to get a better sense on how startup business are doing so successful in the Silicon Valley areas. From what I learn and observe, hopefully someday I will be able to apply it for when I start my own company or business.
