@@svdfxd Thank you for the kind words! As for the cards, I really enjoy cardistry (or card manipulation), and yes, playing with cards is a big stress relief for me! It's sort of like my version of a fidget spinner.

Brandon Wilcox hey I know you don’t know me but I’m in the ninth grade picking an occupation and perhaps you can tell me what it’s like to work there with a computer science attribute.
Tanalle Dubard well I haven’t started yet but I can tell you computer science is a great route to take if you like computers and solving problems. It’s not easy but it’s really interesting and you’re or pretty much guaranteed to get a decent paying job
I'm still in school, but I'm hoping to work for Google in the future, most likely in marketing or business. I'm so happy for you, and it makes me believe that Googlers are real people. Good luck at your new job!
My older sister who works at Google, invited my brother and I to visit her place. The place was amazing! The place had entire room of games and I think there was free food as well. Also another thing was that there was a shelf full of accessories and outlets for any tech for free, so that the employees don’t have to pay for anything for their tech.
You know what that things are? They are the alcochol that was distributed to death camp guards so they stay good and drunk in order to ignore what they are doing.
As a consultant, I must say, travel for work is different than travel for fun. Both can be good, but I would prefer to spend that time with my family, be it at home, or traveling.
But if you compare a job where you have the opportunity to travel and a job with none, you would certainly prefer the former. It's not like travelling for work would reduce the time you can travel or spend the time with your family since you're not using your vacation leave to travel for work.
@@temmasmasa9414 actually you would not. Night's spent in a different city means time spent away from family. Most consultancy companies for example have a contract statement that say X% of the work time is done at the customer location. Depending on where you travel, it might not fit within the 8 working hours in a day. If the customer wants you there at 9am on Monday, you will most certainly spend time away from family, either the night before or the day before. While you are there, assuming that you finish at 17:00 you have time to get to the hotel and change. You will also be close to the work location, not the tourist attractions. How much time do you have to enjoy the new city in that situation? If you work for AWS for example, you can split a week between 3 customers in different parts of the country every week. You spend more time in airports than in the city. Ignoring my XP and my circle's XP which is mostly privileged IT work, I have friends who used to work as truckers (pre brexit). They know all the service stations in the EU, but not much else. In conclusion when I see "travel opportunities" on a job description, I stay away as I read it as "we'll pay you for 40h a week but you have to get to the place of work on your own time"
Travel is work, anything a corporation does to keep you away from you setting up your own life is evil. Including all the benefits, they should instead just pay you more. An adult doesnt need a gym membership as a part of corporate benefits program, he needs money which he then can buy a gym membership for if he wants to or spend it on donuts. Bottom line its manipulative. Its patronizing. Its disgusting.
Google sucks massive donkey dick and you morons shouldnt think painting your walls white and fruit fridays make it any less of a propaganda ministry than it is.
Great content on your videos man, talking honest about life at Google. I recently got an Onsite Interview there and was rejected, it's my first time interviewing for Google and it feels somehow discouraging, when I had a chance to ask the interviewers any questions, first on my mind was always: "How many times were you rejected before getting a position here?" and I realized that almost everybody has failed before getting there, could you talk about that on some of your upcoming videos? Thanks man, keep up the good work.
@@Veri7a Thanks brother, I'm not giving up. Tech Lead says that he was rejected 10 consecutive years before making it into Google. So I'll keep on trying.
I am starting my college life, in future i want to see myself working for Google as a software engineer.. Work hard is all i know, i don't have internal talents
@@jflopezfernandez 9 months into the journey, I have learned a few skills, got a quite knowledge on several secrets of this tech industry. Looking out for internships to test my skills. Thanks buddy ❤️
Who cares, they dont know how shit works anyway. They have a broken algorithm and they call that AI to mask the failure Google AI: Makes no sense Google shitgineering: ooooh the great AI has spoken! ~ the thing isnt malfunctioning, it must be so! Google Ceo: Amazing, i guess we need to kill all jews!
Some were to attend conferences and other events, and others were indeed to work in-person with teams located in those cities. Even though we had amazing tools that facilitated remote collaboration, there's something about working face to face that is simply unrivaled!
@@clem very true about face to face collaboration! I work remotely for Amazon so I do a bit of traveling to meet with teams on site every month or so. Traveling for conferences like you did sounds awesome
Since a lot of people have asked me this, I may make a video on the topic in the future. I'll copy-paste my answer to one of the other comments here for now: I think there are a lot of reasons for which people, especially those early in their career, jump from company to company every 2-4 years. Jumping tends to come with a compensation increase, the ability to discover new tech, and the opportunity to simply explore new things. That being said, many people stay much longer than 2-4 years once they find a place they really love.
Chris Dauntly i think it because the average age is 29 ( which i think would be millennials). Millennials tend to job hop, or search for the next best thing.
Hey Clément, I'm been prepping for tech interviews for about four months+ now and algoexpert has been extremely helpful. A little about me: I'm an iOS developer with four years of exp. I would appreciate if you could pass my resume along to the HR manager at Google or Facebook. I would really appreciate that... => What's your email?
I'm actually going to be releasing a video exactly on the topic of referrals in the tech industry in 2 days; it'll have some useful info about this. To your question though: beyond the fact that I've never directly worked with you, which makes it very difficult to give a proper referral, I'm not *currently* working at either of the two companies! I'm currently in between the two jobs. I'm very glad to hear that AlgoExpert has been extremely helpful!
Autonomy = poor customer service . There are certain areas of Google that deal with us customers and they take weeks months to send back emails literally a standard email !! And then you email back and they send you a standard email back saying within 6 weeks we will get back to you ! 6 weeks after months of waiting already !!!! Google unfortunately has so much power of the business world it’s sad that there employees have no respect for there customers !
Take away the food and you have just everything that a good company which wants to perform well has. Like there is somebody to pick fix your laptop?! Damn.... you generate revenue with that laptop! Any software company will replace your laptop no-questions asked if it crashes because of some hardware issue.
I was expecting 7 unique (best) things. I don't work at Google and I've had all these very basic things working at ad agencies my entire career. Funny you never mentioned people or career development which should sit on the top of any list. More importantly, why did you really leave?
I forgot the 8th best thing about working at Google: you get to call yourself an Ex-Googler once you leave the company 😎
Clément ...you are an inspiration...curious to know why do you always carry stack of playing cards? Is it a stress buster?
@@svdfxd Thank you for the kind words! As for the cards, I really enjoy cardistry (or card manipulation), and yes, playing with cards is a big stress relief for me! It's sort of like my version of a fidget spinner.

One step closer to becoming the Tech Lead. LOL.
Hey Clément
How long did it take you to learn data structures and algorithms?
Some of these are specific to the role and team :)
1. Travel (00:54)
2. Access to any Google Office (3:13)

You go to office to rest rather than your home when u work at Google 😂😂
Best thing about working at Google is talking in past tense about having worked at Google.... 😂
Brian Schoedel 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂 you’ve got a point
Yeah most of the youtubers who are making videos about Google all left after few years🤣🤣🤣 always past tense
@@sayantanbhaduri3874 I think it might be because there are terms that prohibit spreading the inside info to public while being an employee.
I know right 😂😂
Yes, because its a shithole full of woke bigots.
Hey
Clément, I just wanted to say thank you for all the effort you put into making videos!
Could you make a video about living in NYC and its tech scene? How does it compare to the Bay Area? :)
That's a great video idea; will do!
@@clem still waiting :)
@@Gh0sTPro oof
Starting in February and can’t wait to join!!!
congrats bro
Imagine being an Indian, working hard, getting into Google US office, and getting sent for a *travel opportunity* to India 😆😆😆
Areyy😂😂😂
That would be brutal. It would be equally as brutal for a guy from Mexico as well to get sent for a travel opportunity to Mexico ahaha.
Google sucks massive donkey dick and you morons shouldnt think painting your walls white and fruit fridays make it any less of a propaganda ministry than it is.
That would be very cool. If u still have parent or family there. U can meet them for a short time and lemme them know it's a business travel
I ended up relocating back to the Bangalore office after about 1 year when I joined in Bay Area :)
For travel, you forgot to mention how easy it is to relocate to another location when changing team/role.
Since I was 9 I wanted to work at google, I did all the options in school to get it and I am still hoping

You got this!
Motivated to prepare properly.
Thanks man!
I thought food would be listed on the top. :D
Yahayyy me 2😂
2 years works at google
Rest of life spends making money by talking about having worked at google lol
Thanks for sharing your insights.
Not sure if you’ve already created a video about “Why Leaving Google”.
This is so motivating but I am 28 and starting to learn to code. I think this train has gone for me :'(
Nah man, 28 is young! There are people in their 40s learning to code and applying to big companies. You can do anything you put your mind to
dude, it is definitely not too late! I once saw a 78 year old just starting to learn python, if you want to do it, just do it!
I know a guy in late 40s who got in. You can do it, if you want.
Bro 28 is pretty young
I'm 13 lmao

What is the travelling for? A week doesnt seem like very long to get much done, or familiarise yourself with whatever is going on in that region.

Hi. If you didnt want to travel to a certain country, did u have the option to decline going there.
Hey Clément! Then is it possible to work at offices in other countries for a while? Like a month or so.
For years. You're not allowed to come back until they say so.
