Mark Zuckerberg's advice for college kids is to surround yourself with people you would want to work for. This simple approach guides his hiring choices at Meta.

Think long and hard about who you spend time with at college, it could affect your career, according to Meta founder and billionaire Mark Zuckerberg.

In February, he spoke to Fridman. He was asked how young people can live a life they can be proud of, and how to build something that can have a positive impact on the world, at the end of the interview.

He spoke about his children's nighttime routine, but his answer also contained some practical advice for college graduates.

If you're in college, the most important decision you're likely to make is who you surround yourself with.

If you want to work for people in an alternate universe, you should ask yourself who they are.

He said that it could be because you think you will learn a lot from them, their values align with yours or they will push you.

People are also objective-focused and maybe not focused enough on the connections and the people who they are building relationships with.

Zuckerberg only employs people he would want to work for

Facebook was launched in 2004 by a group of Harvard students.

Facebook is worth more than $500 billion despite the group's split. Billions of users use its suite of apps every day.

Its inability to moderate hate speech is one of the controversies it has had to contend with.

He said he applies his college-friend logic when hiring at Meta.

If I could see myself working for them, I would hire someone to work for me.

It has proved to be useful to balance the pressure that comes when building a business and the desire to get things done quickly.

Everyone always says don't compromise on quality, but there is a question of how to know if someone is good enough.
