Ask HN: 40 years old and Google, is it possible?
How much is it possible to get hired by Google or (other FANGs) in a decent position if you have:
+ 30 years experience in programming (my passion since childhood), managing teams and products but no CS degree (I have an economics degree)
+ Building and leading high-tech startups and their products
+ Experience with the latest programming trends
I didn't create any products for the last 5 years but I taught people programming and created tools and open-source projects for my own purposes (and for other people).
What do you say? Is it possible?
- tiredwired 7y agoI interviewed at Google once. They did not care about my resume or any of my experience. They only cared about how I performed on the bizarro whiteboard questions.
- wingi 7y agoIf you go through the normal, starter hiring process (1 mio request / year @ goog) with that experience you will get this starter questions ... you should get a request from google to join.
- inancgumus 7y agoAnother possibility is that you can be a consultant to FANG companies. You better start networking with people already work in those companies.
