Recently got a SWE Google offer. I'm insecure as fuck and I believe I lucked out even though I didn't fuck up any of the 7+ interviews. I'm not sure if I have the IQ to prosper there. Hopefully other characteristics are valued as well. Everyone I talk to is like: "this is no luck, congrats" but I don't feel that way at all. How should I cope with this? Maybe I need a therapist. Offer TC 190k (Not in US) #swe #google #interviews
It’s pretty hard to get fired at google. You’re good depending on how long you’ve been at Amazon lmao
You’ll be fine. Google is a massive company with thousands of engineers. If you actually are an idiot, you’re bound to have good company
You don’t need a therapist, you are just a normal primate. Go there if you are interested in the work and see what happens. You won’t be surprised to learn your feeling is the normal one there.
Google engineers’ standard has reduced a lot lately. I know so many average engineers who are working there. So don’t worry, Google today is not what it was in 2010s.
⬆️
Databricks is the only one I can think of. Even then I don’t think it’s close
It’s just a company bro
It's just another company, OP. You did great with 7+ people in interviews. These are the same kind of people you will encounter daily there. Congrats and enjoy! You made it this far, believe in yourself.
“The best you can do is the best you can do” Literally the absolute worst thing that could happen is that you go work for Google, you fail miserably and get piped within a year, and then get fired. Then you have $190,000 and Google on your resume. There’s literally no downside. Trying and failing will leave you in a better place than you are today. So just go do your best and see what happens, you will probably surprise yourself.
Coming to Blind for help is a mistake. Instead they’ll make you insecure by saying that Google has gone downhill and that Amazon is better.
Sounds like you’re dealing with impostor syndrome. Challenge these thoughts or see a therapist if you can’t surmount them.
