Since I love your post, I want to tack one more thing to the bottom of it: please, for the love of all things holy, don't split out "key projects" and skills from your employment experience section. If I can't easily sc

imho, creating new data sucking pipelines (no matter whether for advertising or model training) under the guise of a consumer service is at least slightly nefarious.

You're wrong. There's nothing nefarious or underhanded about this decision.

When I was growing up in the early 80s, my engineer father had an HP-35 that he adored. He ultimately added an HP-12c, too, and when I was in middle school I was gifted an HP-32sii. I was the only weirdo using RPN. :) I upgraded to an HP

At most hardware companies, this is the starting point. As in, a flat multiple is the baseline, before S&M and other overheard costs are re-integrated by Finance into product cost.

I don't think it's that at all. Truly. I think it's a trust thing of the opposite sort: people don't trust themselves to comfortably (and actively) forget non-critical tasks, which is what the OP does with this method.

I felt the same and had mentally prepared for a factory reset, and all the pains that accompany having to re-setup a phone from scratch. I upgraded anyway. I have literally had nothing break or change for the worse, and moreover, the phone

Google has gotten leery of talking about the actual moonshots because of the extremely negative press/dialogue that results.

I should have been clear. People across these teams were working together on projects, so in that context it meets your bar (as far as I'm concerned). That said, when I started at Google there were 7 countries represented in my initi

In my experience, the real desirability in China lies in getting engineering jobs for the popular, growing tech companies (just like in the US). There are millions of engineering jobs in IT departments all over the country that are underva

I think this is actually stated in the reverse, based on my experience. Companies that value high-quality output generally tend to become more diverse as they grow. There are obvious places this falls on its face. I used to manage plent

The other thing that seems to be largely true is that these "loud opinionated Googlers" are the ones in the Bay Area. You don't hear about things like this from other offices, even the other large offices in the US (Cambridg

It's interesting that this is true, because (at the state level, not federal) this is table stakes to lure large corporations to locate in one state over another. Just look at some of the pitches cities/states have been making to

My understanding is that the end user is not the subject in a commercial contract. The licensing entity (the business) is the end user and as a result, if they accept the terms, which them apply to all employees, it's irrelevant wheth

Your employer will agree to their terms on your behalf, and if you are not comfortable with either that process or the terms, you are welcome to terminate your employment. This is no different from companies accepting ToS/EULA from an

I think it depends how big it must be to consider "large", but there are tons of California ex-pats living in the Raleigh-Durham area, still working in tech/biotech/pharma/engineering, often for CA-based companies.

And those date ranges can vary wildly for extremely differing reasons. Especially for white collar jobs, you may have a negotiation period that last weeks-to-months, especially if you're currently employed while applying.
