Honestly? Just master data structures, get competing offers at FB and Google, make 350-400k a year, invest heavily and aggressively, retire in 7 or 8 years

- gallerdude 9y agoWhy data structures?
- AjJi 9y agoTo get through the interview process. Their interviews are a bunch of algorithm questions, and data structures is the starting point.
- shinryuu 9y agoyou'll need them for the interview :P
- stale2002 9y agoWhen he says "data structures" he actually means "interview questions". Data structures and algorithms interview questions are the only thing that Google and FB care about.
- pkaye 9y agoI can imagine an UI designer coming in for an interview. ...yeah I want you to invert a binary tree.
- stale2002 9y agoYou joke about that, but I had a friend who interviewed for a developer Evangelist role at Google, and literally the only stuff that they were asked was algorithms questions. Yeah, it was a 50% technical role, but Google didn't care about the OTHER 50% of the job at all...
- fpisfun 9y agoI keep hearing salaries mentioned like this and I'm sure some developers make this but I really don't think the average developer is making this at these companies, based on salary comparison websites, etc. A developer who makes this, I'm assuming, would be working in machine learning / quasi-AI type of stuff and that is probably not the type of job you're going to get right out of college unless you have a PHD. I can't imagine any reason Facebook would pay this to devs for run of the mill dev roles when it's clearly so far above market rate.
