I did work at Google and, IMO, your analysis isn't that far from the truth. Plus every project is massively overstaffed on engineers and massively under-staffed

I did work at Google and, IMO, your analysis isn't that far from the truth. Plus every project is massively overstaffed on engineers and massively under-staffed on project and team managers, which is by design because, you know, SWEs at Google "don't like to be told what to do" and they will "organize themselves"...

He'd want to be an engineer who makes up for his slight deficiencies in academic Computer Science with an excellent understanding of what Google's customers want. Apologies to Max and Google if I misrepresented what you wanted out of this.
