interviewing at a startup be like... (ft. Steven He) 

"It was OK meeting you" is a freaking amazing line.

The scariest part about having Steven He being your interviewer is that he deals emotional damage to you.

Steven is a really versatile actor. all of his characters were believable.

I love how upfront the CEO is about running a Ponzi scheme

The JCU got me hyped. Eric wang’s about to cause some emotional damage

"sell your house of cards while it still looks like a palace" What a line. Give me chills down to my spine.

I always forget how good of an actor Steven is after only seeing him play himself and his dad for a few months, but damn he really pulled off that CEO

"My grandma run fasta than your code" this. This is comedy gold.

Steven’s CEO acting was so good. I forgot I was watching RU-vid for a second and thought I was watching a movie.

The Founder part is movie-worthy. I was so surprised by the transition of the comedy to intense thriller/drama. Stellar editing and writing.

That last clip feels like a scene from a TV show. I can already see the plot, I love the characters, and it looks incredibly professional. We, the people, need to see this made into a show.

FTX guys saw this video and played their roles perfectly... Especially the CEO part.

Wow the CEO founder segment was so good. Color correction, script, music, shot calls, lighting, performance, editing.

Steven's acting is so good!!

Now I'm angry that there is no show to watch called "The Founder". Someone make it about a struggling engineer who risks everything to move to a tech city and join a startup. Could have him not be able to find an apartment and living in his car, using wifi at a coffee shop to apply for jobs and study, and he sees the Founder talking on the phone about his company, googles it, applies, and then cue this scene after he is accepted post 3rd interview. The one scene is shot, edited, and acted so well that I want to write an entire series. Give it a "Matchstick Men" vibe and a lot of grit about struggling to "make it" and the hollow sense of accomplishment once you do.

I love how Steven can be a very serious character and an overly-emotional one. I love the diversity he can bring. Truly has a talent for acting, in my opinion.

6:12 “Eric…welcome to the company” the facial expressions - the little knowing smirk, the tone, the attitude are all top tier

"My grandmother run faster than your code" That's an absolute EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

The Founder CEO segment was incredible. Want more of something like that.

I love the fact he pointed to the only hand that did not have a wrist watch.

Man!!! Steven's acting for CEO was so on point!!! Cinematography (not sure what should I call it) and direction were so good not to mention the script!

Damn, I always thought of Steven He as a comedian, but he is a damn good actor! The CEO part felt like it was straight from a movie.

The CEO part is a cinematic masterpiece. 👏

2:34 "It was okay meeting you," is just a fantastic line.

No joke: Steven He's acting is Hollywood level good. Time for him to legit breakout from RU-vid. More please, Joma. I would pay to watch a feature length film with both of you.

“Disappointment just like my son” LMAO it makes my day!!

They asked me the lightbulb question at SpaceX … 😂

5:40 and ahead doesn't even feel like a RU-vid video... it feels like a straight up serious drama movie

Fuiyoh this is so funny 😂

You know, coming from Steven's own channel, I know he acts well, but the part of CEO that he did, it was nothing like he's done before, it was extraordinary, it was brilliant!

damn! that was so well acted!! the final round was so damn good. for a moment a thought i was watching an actuall movie! the music, the setting, they even worked in a blindr joke!! when YT is more entertaining than hollywood!

"My grandmother runs faster than your code" *emotional damage*

“It was okay meeting you… Disappontment, just like my son!” that kills me every time XD

Hahha "good luck with your other interviews it was okay meeting you" 😂

没关系， 没关系。 "Absolute dog water." Hahahah so funny

The content. Its so beautifully made and written - this is hard to believe to come from a Data Scientist. This is a direct translation of who Joma is possibly - his thoughts, humor, ability to think deep and see through the patterns of society or startup culture combined into a script. And as you think abt all that, we already missed the surprise element. How Blindr is slowly being born out of this. The way they semi-introduce Blindr here is impeccable.

Man, I loved this sketch. The final round with the CEO, looked like a thriller series I would very much enjoy watching.

Ok, this is way better than it has any right to be. Stven's acting is insane, and the script was also amazing. Plus, no way I was expecting a backstory for Erik Wang mixed in so masterfully

Man, Your short movie is g o o d! You caught my attention. Excellent edit, composition of scenes and music, switching between scenes... Funny, dramatic, tense... Excellent acting. And a truthly depiction and criticism of contemporary society. Your work ought to be shown on the short movie festivals. And be awarded. I am from Croatia and I appreciate Your work.

Steven is actually scary damn

Damn this is too good

Steven is a phenomenal actor and can do so many accents seamlessly. At times I literally forgot he was playing the interviewer and I just thought it was a different guy his voices, costumes, and acting were that good.

DAYUM how did I miss this !? It's awesome ! Also the last one, absolutely perfect in every way. I knew Steven was a pro actor but I was still surprised

Yup, definitely been there. lots of start ups have this sort of rapid fire meet and greet. It's confusing af, since only 1 of those people you talk to has deciding power.

When Steven spoke mandarin and Josh said he’s Cantonese so doesn’t speak it …Steven’s reaction had me weak lmfo

Came for the humor, stayed for the award-winning acting!

the founder moment is awesome. "Enjoy the ride as much you can". Anyone know another scene / movie similar to that ?

The CEO's speech reminds me of the scene in Wolf of Wall Street with DiCaprio and McConaughey

Holy cow, The Founder CEO gave me goosebumps. Awesome acting. 11/10 would watch again. This is better than 99% of actual movie acting I've seen in recent times.

I love how their’s reference to the Steven he storyline in the phrase “disappointment just like my son!” Perhaps he was trying to get hired for a branch of Beijing Corn.

That last clip left like im watching a movie or a series ....such a great scene and stevens acting was just too good, good editing, direction overall the last scene was like cherry on the top

I love Joma’s acting. It’s very subtle. He aims for realism which makes the piece grounded.

0:26 the interviewer asked "what is the number of lightbulbs sold in the US each week?" But Joma answered 50 million, which is the number of lightbulbs sold in the US each year.

Now we're even getting post-credit scenes... It's only a matter of time before Joma liquidates the channel by selling it to Netflix

This is most excellent! Steven He, really showed off his acting capabilities. Great script and transition. Great work!

Omg you both are GREAT ACTORS! 👌🏻 So happy to see you collab with Steven He

"We want hard cash, right?" Like, damn! Steven He is on point with the role of the CEO! Chills! Can't believe that this is RU-vid!

Ok na that ending was actually insane, such a plot twist and so beautifully acted by Steven it made it seem so perfectly real, that final one was absolutely beautiful.

"Sell your house of cards while it still looks like a palace". Fucking brilliant line 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Respect

You guys should be actors, you deserve an oscar!!!

Joma is such a great actor. I wouldn’t be surprised to see you actually work in a hollywood movie.

6:44 it was a fantastic touch to put Bach's prelude in there with a violin, to make the viewer feel like this CEO is made of ethereal matter.

I love to appreciate the art and passion with which each of your videos were created.

The CEO script and delivery was phenomenal. I am eager to see this role casted in a movie, please.

You two are such a good combo. Would be great to see more.

3:35 - the absentee is the one you want, sometimes if they're in a good mood, they'll hire you because they're transferring their good mood into how they perceive you.

Steven's dad might not believe in him for being an actor, but he still kills it perfectly.

Wasn’t expecting Steven here, but it’s always a nice surprise when he shows up

Founder CEO had tears in my eyes. Impressive acting

Both of y’all are amazing actors 🔥

As someone new to coding I enjoy watching videos like this and pretending I understand what's going on

I love how far you've taken the Blindr project in each video. Ties them together in a very witty way.

As a Brit, I would like to say that Stevens English accent is bloody brilliant. So impressed!!

6:21 please just hire this guy as an MCU hero that just acts like normal guy but with highest IQ possible and being cool all around, or a villain Perfect act, so real

Hot damn, the Founder/CEO is eerily spot on, tragically realistic

I actually want to see a drama movie about Joma and Steven with that startup. It's so good.

Steven is a top level actor. He deserves to be in Hollywood. And the CEO part was insane!

This guy's acting is actually next level, how does he still have time to be a coder?

The Founder is not looking for capable working drones or a certain culture or feeling, he doesn't care about money, he looks for wisdom, unbreakable loyalty and real, everlasting value and progress and he archieves this with the truth and he finds it in the beaten down.

I feel that the last round is the beginning of a movie. Please do it

Joma: I don't speak Mandarin (1:32) Steven: EMOOOOOOTINOAL DAAAAMAGE

Man, this is great comedy. But the part with the CEO , that is true art. The music, the shots, the dialog. You guys really hit the sweet spot there!

3:07 this was epic lighting transition 👌🔥

Thanks. I needed this motivation boost as I'm going to start interviewing again.

Damn- the lore is so deep now. I’m getting chills down my spine. Insane production quality and everything that went into this. Love it!!

Man said "It was ok meeting you". 😂 wow this was so good, the editing and acting were incredible

This video hits close to home with the lightbulb question lol. I remember when I was 16, I was applying at this pizza place and the guy who was interviewing me asked “how many half sized golf balls would fit in a full sized school bus”.

4:24 completely random info : that is actually a mix of two different pieces. For anyone curious enough, it's a mix between Johann Sebastian Bach's second prelude and second fugue from the well-tempered clavier

5:10 Oh my god, there's nothing more intimidating than seeing a fellow asian speak with some sort of posh English accent.

The CEO part was sooo damn greatly done! i was totally immerse by the film. wooow! such a great edditing ! well done guys! well done!

The acting on The Founder CEO part is mesmerizing, holy crap!

Loved the satire in this video. Joma and Steven were phenomenal and really believable in their roles. I am an aging Techie and can relate to all the scenarios presented in this video. Keep making more such videos, and I promise I will keep loving them!!

Steven is such an amazing actor my god, i totally got into the scenes and forgot they were part of a skit, and not a movie

What an origin story!

Am I the only one who noticed the 'SIMP' principle in the background at 4:10 lmao

I wish they would’ve turned this into a series. It would’ve been amazing!

My man now pulling off Christopher Nolan type of open endings. Great video Joma, gave me tons of emotional damage for not knowing mandarin either

Incredible cinematography -- I was just laughing along and then boom, you hit us with the final round, amazing dialogue, beautiful camerawork, and OH MY GOD, the storyline! I could just feel my mind getting blown with the "window blind company" and then Da Wei being Eric. All your acting was top-tier, keep up the work! :)

your acting is amazing, this is the first time I thought 2 people where in the sketch instead of 1 doing both perspectives
