I know one thing: if you didn't tell me what the positions were going to be, and you said "Would you rather Google or In n Out?" I'd go for Google. The probabilities favour that direction.
It's sort of like if you said "Would you rather be born in the USA or India?" Sure it depends whether you end up the child of the richest guy in India or a baby immediately human-trafficked in the USA but the probabilities line up in precisely one direction.
- scarmig 7y agoA probability to think about: what proportion of Google's employees do you believe are contractors versus FTE? Come up with a figure first before you look it up. If you get it roughly right, kudos to you, but if you're pretty far off, you should consider revising your image of what a "Google employee" actually is. Not all or even a majority of contractors, to be clear, lead a bad existence. But a lot of mythmaking happens with FAANG companies, and they really want you to think of them as relying only on sexy jobs, all the while sweeping the more mundane and crappy ones under the rug.
- scarejunba 7y agoRoughly half and half I'd say. But that includes the guys who do software at Google, right? I think the probabilities still line up.
