I’m preparing for G interview even though I’m in a company with similar comp. As every engineer I admire Google but I’m hesitant because most googlers I’ve met were socially unaware people that I would respect for their coding skills but not for most other things in life. So I’m wondering if I’d like working there. I’m good at coding but I don’t fit the typical nerd stereotype (also don’t have anything against “typical nerds” I’m just asking for advice).
You realize FAANGMULA just means not FAANG right? With a question as dumb as this I seriously am shocked you’re competent enough to have a job
FAANGMULA lmao
Ok. 🤡
It’s weird to have such question.
The few Googlers I know are highly charismatic and smart people tbh One of my close friends from university who was always really humble, smart, charismatic is at G My sample size is low, but I think it kinda demonstrates you're generalizing too much
Is your friend a swe?
Yes
There's a lot of both. If you've only met nerds, maybe it says more about your social circle than Google itself?
Also in swe roles? Or just in the company in general
SWE roles definitely trend more toward one end of the spectrum, but it's not a huge difference. Also, younger people tend to be more well-adjusted (there are a lot more "normal" people going into CS programs now, so Google can be more picky).
Don't go Google then
Wait do you go to work to socialize or to make money? Cause the former is what friends are for?
