That's just a function of their size. I guarantee you that Stripe and Airbnb's growth rates will drop to these types of growth rates if they hit the 100B valuation. The truth is when you are so large, the opportunities for growth

I've only interviewed twice at Google for engineering so take this with a grain of salt. Here are some things I would depriotize: ● Sorting: ○ Know how to sort. Don't do bubble-sort. ○ You should know the details of at least one n

Just as one data point - I went through the onsite recently and I personally found that PDF to be unhelpful. While it does list everything you need to know, it also lists way too many things that you probably don't need to know. It

Yea except your math is wrong. You include the value of the beach in X which represents what Khosla owns even though he doesn't own the beach. Even Khosla wasn't arguing he owned the beach. So you magically inflated the X by a hug
