while the degree has led to you getting a job at Google, you're saying it's a throwaway because it costed you your mental health/relationship? not trying to question your assessment- just wondering whether or not you think you could have gotten a job at Google otherwise and that's why the program was a throwaway?
- throwawayaug15 9y agoFair question. Throwaway because I don't want my personal comment history to be tagged as "the opinion of a Google Engineer". It's a card that I don't like to pull out in discussions, but it's relevant here. Also the personal stuff to some extent. Point is, I gained a lot from the program, but it hurt me in other ways and money is the least of these worries.
