    Note how half of these people came from startups that were bought out by Google.
    Keep that in mind. If you are competing with Google in any way, THAT is your application to Google. You have a leg up on most other applicants. If Google buys you out, congratulations, you now work for Google. If Google decides not to buy you out, they are at least familiar with your work. In fact, Google might prefer to buy the talent instead of buying the project.
    Just keep an eye out for the optimal strategy. If Google really wants to take your startup off the market, you want to stay with your startup. If Google just wants to destroy the startup you work for (and you don't own equity in the startup) you might consider making yourself available to Google instead.

      And didn’t some of the people get laid off for for refusing to work and instead pushing illegal as slander, but allowed in Islam taqiyya lying practices in support of the two year planned attack of civilians in Israel (that included kidnapping children, and even slaughtering whole families at their breakfast table including internationally killing a little dog in that planned sneak attack not on military, but on civilians with terrorism from the Palestinian government) and start claiming that Israel is Palestine and that’s why they say it’s OK to do terrorism (intentional civilian attacks, not accidental casualties) and call it freeing Palestine when Palestine has been free in Palestine for 20 years and saying you stand with a war against civilian or your for the opposing army that admits, they hide behind their children and tell them to die as martyrs in war crimes that you say you support while you’re at work but refusing to work was seen as not proper, right? Google has a reputation for being liberal biased, but even that didn’t fly. Even in Palestine, the freedom people want is to be free from The hummus Palestinian government that literally steals their food and puts military underneath the children saying the weakness of the Jews is their care for human life. The Israel army is actually working very hard not to have civilian casualties, they dropped leaflets, they sent announcements, they even sent text messages to phones of what buildings to get out of while the Hamas Palestinian government told people to stay and die. Yeah, supporting Palestine endangering of civilians in both Israel and Palestine got some people laid off and probably even fired when they start chanting manipulative slogans at work instead of working.

      @@yoBANNANA Again it does not really, im sorry to break this to you, and i know you will disagree with me, but no university and college degree will help you in landing jobs like google, however, graduating from universities like MIT or Havard, oxford...etc will land you a job because of the recommendation the university send to certain places or because the professor recommended you.
      And that goes back to my point which is connections, you will enroll through connections not a degree, and connections with no experience will land you intern positions with low chance of securing an actual position with in the company. thats reality, right now no one cares about degrees, because no one trust anyone, they only trust valid sources that says good things about you AKA connections...

So I enrolled into an EAD university that gives freedom to make my own schedules, just respecting the dates to submit the assignments and related things that would not stop me to get a full time job and give the opportunity to learn something from specialized teachers while giving a degree focused on what I'm loving. Everything I'm learning is self taught until now and probably will keep being like this in the majority of the process but who knows if I don't just drop from it if I get a job with good salary, it's just for insurance measures, I don't want to feel any regrets.

      Same. I'm awkward, really awkward, but I managed to get a job through an internship. I talked about cyclopia (one eyed babies) and how they're linked to historic monsters in the interview, because they asked me what my latest thought about the world was. I was nervous so I just told them truthfully and regretted it straight after. Luckily they found it funny instead of off-putting. They told me I was fun to talk to.
      They picked students to the interview based on their grades, after that we were given a small project to finish that had to be presented. And finally after that they picked their interns. I really liked that you could show your technical skills/ability to learn at home, it was less stressful.

    Im willing to bet that if you took all these people who are at Google. And they went through 12 interviews right now just to see if they can pass them... Even after having got the job at google.
    Id say they'd fail on average at least 8 of the interviews even now.
    It's a luck ride. If they ask the leetcode question you memorized your good. If not your screwed. So it's basically a slot machine getting into google. Yes you have to be at least average at coding. but beyond there its a luck ride.
