My son works for Google in San Francisco, he really enjoys it. She is right about not necessarily getting the coding working in the interview process. They are looking for your thought process and how you go about solving the problems. Oddly enough he has done some interviews himself now. The salary and benefits are very good, he has had many attractive offers from other companies since starting at Google.

As a software engineer although i don't think math is a REQUIREMENT for being a SWE, a lot of the skills that make someone good at math will translate into being a good SWE, which is being able to 1.) Think abstractly 2.) pattern recognition 3.) problem solving 4.) self teaching. A lot of things in CS are based on math or derived, variables, functions, even in FE with CSS.

The amount of luck that plays into it would give me perpetual anxiety, like if you get two coding questions you could get lucky with one and have it be something you've studied extensively, and then the next could be something you've heard about once in your entire college career! Mad respect to anyone going through that process!! Thanks for answering all the questions!

It is indeed soul crushing at times. Just to get an internship, one could get one or two interviews after sending out 80 + applications.

I definitely agree that the team you work with can make a world of difference. I work in insurance (10+ years) and while I don't like the company I work for, my team (and the particular department I work in) makes my job alot easier. Also having great benefits allows me to compartmentalize what I don't like about my company/job.

Thanks sarah for breaking down your interview process at Google. I honestly think this was one of the most honest breakdowns on youtube by-far on the FAANG interview process. I appreciate how you kept emphasizing that the thought process and your approach to solving technical problems is key, then trying to rote memorize leetcode questions to produce functional code solutions (albeit one should try). I definitely believe a lot of software engineers interviewing tend to get this wrong, and end up with the wrong approach when preparing for these tough interviews. Again, this was such an informative video! Thank you!

I'm really enjoying your videos! I also never considered STEM or software engineering in hs, but I may try to jump on the train before it speeds away. I don't know if it's the right choice for me - if my brain is structured to code or solve the logic problems presented in development. I wish there was an easy way to figure that out without dishing out a bunch of money on applying and taking classes. I'm generally more abstract, theoretical, and thousand-foot view than I think coding requires. What's your experience?

As an interviewer, how do you view candidates who are trying to make a career switch to computer science from a completely different field? For example, a finance analyst trying to become a software engineer, has no prior related work experience, but has some coding projects in their portfolio and has initiated a couple coding projects in their finance job

As someone who came from finance and just landed a FAANG internship, I would say your example scenario is extremely common these days. The interview does not necessarily care about your background tbh. If you get selected for an interview, it means your qualification has satisfied their criteria, the interviewer will just go on their normal way of interviewing people (coding and behavioral questions and etc) and rate you based on your interview performance. The hard part is to pass the resume and recruiter screen, and convince them that you are technically qualified. It's, in the end, a numbers game that you get selected for an interview.

I am prepping for a Google interview right now, and it feels like such a waste of time. I'm sure it's different for new college grads, because it's testing what they just studied in school, but I am in my early 30s, and studying leetcode like I have an exam coming up is painful. The only way I can do it is if I don't treat it as studying for an exam and just do the problems for fun.

The leetcode style DSA questions though, I had no problem with. Getting ghosted after spending two months to prep for an interview feels pretty bad. Not sure if I'll apply to Google again.

Yes, it's very hard to get a job at Google. These days, being good at being interviewed is vastly more important than your actual skillset / work ethic imo.

So I’m not sure what age you are or your current class standing is, but google has an underclassman program that should be a bit easier to get into compared to the standard sde internship. If you are a freshman or sophomore, look into google step. Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, and Uber also have programs targeted towards underclassmen that should be easier to get into. If you are an under represented individual then it also helps. Amazon gave me an interview even though I didn’t have a lot of experience. Once you get the interview, just make sure your skills are up to snuff. Practice leetcode because those are the type of questions asked in interviews. Also, remember to have fun in college! Best of luck!

I just graduated with a CS degree from state school in California this past month and I am still stuck in warehousing is being part of an Ivy league greatly influence passing the recruitment filters in order to get an interview? Its extremely disheartening that I am still doing this line of work ):.

@@DaLastMonster I couldn’t find one unfortunately due to various factors one such as providing for myself and my family. I don’t want to feel victimized because thats not how the world works when you come from poverty it is not always easy to have things straight forward but I am at least very grateful and happy that I got my degree in the end. Its only a matter of time someone gives me a chance to shoot my chance which is one thing I am striving each day to achieve.

@@_nimrod92 hell yea! That’s a great attitude to have, people succeed without internship experience. Sure it helps, but you can break into the field without it. Hell, bootcampers and self study individuals do. You got this! I would try to see if you go to networking events or alumni meetups. I’m sure your school has mixers or something along those lines. Blind applying is a hard game to play. See if you could try to get some connections going so someone can pull your app on the backend. I’m not sure if you’ve done this stuff already, so my apologies if you have.

Ah, living in America, where companies are praised for giving parental leave for 6 months instead of being something mandated by the government. Wonderful... In my country there is 2 years for parental leave for the mother at 80% the salary, and the father is given 3 weeks as well after his child is born.

usa can be such a sad place at times. in stupid poland you have a year of parental leave (that both parents can divide between them) and many women are on leave while pregnant (some feel bad, some cannot work their jobs as it'd be harmful to the fetus) and then a lot of other perks when you're a parent :| how you don't protest and rebel is beyond me.

Most people have to negotiate for vacation time and leave here. It would be difficult to protest or rebel, unless you’re in a union, because there’s normally someone else to replace you. But a lot depends on who you work for/with. I think Covid shut downs has made people and employers think about it more, so hopefully change is coming.
