- ggambetta 6y agoGive it a try :) I interviewed twice and was hired twice, at 30 and at 39. Don't believe the naysayers, the interviews are actually super reasonable! It's algorithmic, but not leetcode; it feels like "let's figure out this problem together in the whiteboard, colleague".
- _0o6v 6y agoHaving to reverse a binary tree or some other associated nonsense for a frontend UI role meant I turned the interview process at Google down. That and about 6 prospective hours of interviews for my application to then be sent to a "hiring committee" who ultimately decided if I was worthy enough of a job at Google, it just wasn't worth the hoop-jumping.
- foogazi 6y agoWhat was the TC difference between GOOG and the job you have? Might be worth it for some people out there
- foogazi 6y ago> but I doubt highly I could pass the tests to even get an interview. I don’t get this “won’t even try” attitude for a job interview - what is the worst thing that could happen?
- PenguinCoder 6y agoWaste of time, effort, energy, and fear of rejection. Plenty of downsides.
- monster_group 6y agoAnd also they can't interview at Google for another year after rejection. So failing the interview has multiple costs associated with it. It's better to prepare well and then appear for the interview.
- lensopra 6y agoI feel like if you interviewed with Google, you should put "interviewed with Google" on your resume.
