First, GV and Google proper are completely separate entities, and neither seeks the other’s approval other than when Google writes a giant check to fund GV.
Second, I’ll bet you $100 that there’s a Lambda School grad working at Google this time next year ;)
- yanslookup 8y agoI'll take that bet with conditions: - grad must have a rejection from an onsite interview at Google before lambda school - position must be for a T3 swe II
- austenallred 8y agoThat is very specific. They have to have made it to an on-site and been rejected before Lambda? Well that eliminates 99% of our student body from contention.
- yanslookup 8y agoHow else can we isolate the effects of the program? To be honest I subscribe to the idea that the FANG etc interviews are proxies for an IQ test. So it is entirely possible lambda school trains a high enough IQ individual and they pass a full loop. And by that I mean they pass based on their IQ AND the training they got in the program.
- austenallred 8y agoIf you subscribe to the idea that FAANG interviews are IQ tests, then by definition you won’t be able to isolate the effects of the program. I don’t think we really move the needle on IQ.
- levthedev 8y agoThat doesn't make any sense. Why would someone have interviewed at Google before doing a bootcamp like Lambda School, which is specifically meant to teach someone (with almost zero experience) programming? If you've made it to a Google onsite, you probably don't need to go to a bootcamp.
- kchoudhu 8y agoAt least one T3 (or higher!) Lamba School graduate working at Google by 10/9/19? I'll take that action! (Email in profile, also on Twitter.)
- austenallred 8y agoDone
- shatteredspace 8y agoI'll throw in a few buck to the winner just to hear about the result.
