You can switch employers after i140 (approx 2.5 years) and not lose your place in line.

Do you know how many people apply to Google ? There are clearly many many millions who would be happy to work here. Including many in this thread who claim to say otherwise.

You seem to imply it is ! If you back your claim then it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm sure Amazon definitely has boring jobs.

If things were truly bad they can just go work for other FAANG. That is not the case. Since it's HN.."Google must be bad but people are just lazy"

No no one is writing basic CRUD apps at Google. At that scale there are optimizations needed at every level. I know people who work on the cutsom kernel for the servers to front end people for apps.

So all 60k people visit this site and parse negative comments to rebut them ?

Excellent. Works out for everyone.

All my rounds were highly relevant. I was asked to find a race condition in one of the interviews.

Talk about confirmation bias. Do you think people who are happy will come and post on HN ? "TellHN: I am really happy with my work at Google "
584.
by mav3rick 7y ago
Yes. Extrapolate from one data point. Many many people are happy here. No matter how hard HN tries to avoid this fact by citing random blog posts.

"I got an idea of how Google works internally" No he didn't. He wasn't even hired. 99% of companies don't split interviews over 2 days. Most people are pressed for time and days off. If he would have gotten an offer

You can still fallback to Google from the DDG UI

If my OLED TV stops working randomly after a year it's going to be a lot more for the repair.

If Amazon is a top tier employer + payer (on par with F&G) as you claim, you should definitely be able to. Whether you wish to do so is your prerogative.

You didn't answer the question I asked.

I follow the front page just like everyone else. And his comments about "perceived elitism" always stand out. Just comment on whenever I find something interesting in the comment.

Google has been working on WiFi projects for a long time. They have enough good PR outside HN, no need to trivialize when a company takes up a good project.

What gigs did you get ? How does it matter what the HN crowd thinks ?

What is your plan here ? Go around the globe convincing everyone. Go to any bar in Europe and say you work for Google vs say you work for Amazon. See what reactions you get. Google has a higher reputation among the masses. Doesn't matt

You want all the benefits of a free market but all protections in the labor pool. It is not H1B workers fault that your students don't take STEM up. Stop putting everything on immigrants.

It's really not that at level. Once at Google you really get the benefit of doubt of clearing a high bar. It's mostly a talk around your work / perf / CLs and then team fit.

Wow, talk about entitlement. Your birth in a developed country was an accident. Don't act as if you earned it.
