Hi, I recently joined Google (~8 months) and have > 10 yr experience in SW development. I started my career as a Faculty/Teacher teaching high end SW programming courses for 3.5 yr and then moving to SW development. Few months back I started a interview training class teaching data structures, algorithms, system design etc in my community for free after my successful entry at Google. This re-ignited my passion for teaching after a long time. I love teaching though I also enjoy coding. I am seriously thinking of moving to some sort of training career at Google. Whether it be customer training or teaching SW languages to Googlers or anything else that I don’t know of yet which involves teaching. I need your help if you are already in this field or are closely familiar with this type of career choice. 1. What are rewards/benefits as compared to sw eng.? To be honest, how is the pay compared to swe? 2. What are the Barriers to entry? Interview process? Easy? Hard? Expectations? 3. How should I go about it if I am interested? 4. Anything else I may have missed? Let me know if you need more details. Thanks for your response. @training @teaching
I'd bet that Google cloud training will pay better and have better career growth than swe training. Maybe look into DevRel or SA type role
You can remain a SWE and teach classes to other SWEs via Grow, g2g, noogler orientation, etc. There are also many 20% opportunities to contribute to curriculum development. If you switch ladders entirely, you probably will face a pay cut.
OP, can I PM you?
Yes sure
My bad, I used up all mine private chats. Wanted to know if you’re willing to mentor/teach for Google SWE interviews?
Look into Developer Relations. PM me if you want to talk more
Thank you all who responded and read!
Made similar move outside Amazon, it's a cluttered space, any tom d### and harry will become a teacher nowadays and compete with you for peanuts.
