To answer this question you pose:
>I know the term Web Developer has become a pretty broad term nowadays and maybe I am kidding myself when I think about a job at google or other SV or SF company, but what do they expect in terms of experience from a graduate?
If you're talking about being a fresh graduate, the answer is that "Google or other SV company" will typically require zilch in the way of experience. Google, et al will have separate job postings for "recent graduates". The requirements are pretty bare.
Since you mentioned Google: http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/students/tech/fulltime/uscanada/software-engineer-new-grad-2013-north-america.html http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/students/tech/fulltime/us... Other companies will be similar.
Now whether you can get past the interviews (again, using Google as an example here): http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-google.html http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-goog...

Google, et al will have separate job postings for "recent graduates". The requirements are pretty bare. The requirements never seem to reflect what you are tested on in an actual interview in one of those companies, as evidence of that blog post. However, yea in terms of experience they do not require that much - just a year in industry which is something most engineering/compsci uni courses's allow you to do. Thanks for the link, I will have a good read.
- ceras 13y agoIt's not an actual year. You can get a full time offer with only one summer internship (3 months experience) under your belt and nothing else.
