Hope you all find this video very helpful! Here are some other videos I made that should be helpful in getting into Google. - The Resume That Got Me Into Google (ruclips.net/video/aKjsy-b00QM/видео.html ) - The Projects That Got Me Into Google (ruclips.net/video/n4t_-NjY_Sg/видео.html ) - How I Landed My Interviews At Google (ruclips.net/video/GyYsnK434DM/видео.html ) - My Google Interview Experience (ruclips.net/video/Naa85K5n4sY/видео.html )
Tips 1, code well enough to take and pass coding interview 2, 1 to 3 engineering projects or some work experiences 3, contact google recruiter directly 4, only coding performance matters 5, communicate well, write code for what you talk 6, if you get rejected, apply again in 6 or 12 months
Tip no.7: as one of your portfolio projects, build an AI chatbot that can do mock interviews, point out your communication weaknesses, and coach you on how to get better. 😁That's a win-win situation: it impresses your dream employer, and makes you a better programmer and communicator. Great video, as usual, Clement. Thank you for staying up late, for your hard work, and for the consistently useful, wise, and witty content. Your work ethic and attitude are inspiring. 😊
There are also sometimes hiring freezes in some Google organisations for L3-L4 (meaning no open positions even if you pass the hiring committee), but they will still interview you.
I really like your videos, this year I got an interview with google, and I failed on the coding interview, I do really have experience and the challenge was not hard but I got very nervous I guess, I failed, but your videos are inspiring and I am going to try again, this time I will try to prepare more and will try to have more confidence
Imagine you have a bunch of lego blocks pieced together to form a cube. You could remove the lego blocks in the outer border of the cube, and you’d be left with a similar cube, except a bit smaller than the first one. You could repeat this over and over again and every time have a similar cube just a bit smaller than the previous one-until you reach a single lego block, at which point you can no longer remove blocks and have to just stop. That’s what came to my mind!

Conclusion - The perfect time doesn't exist. Because no matter how many problems you solve, you will never be 100% confident that yes, today I think I can rock Google Interview. So I think its just about intuition when you feel that you are ready to apply to Google.
This was extremely helpful. I’m not interested in google at the moment but I am trying to land that first internship and I’m definitely going to use these tips
Thank you for the tips. Out of all tips tip # 1 is the most important one as self confidence is the key to live a happy and successful life. Many prays for happy life for you Clement.
Awesome tips. Anything worthwhile is never easy. I feel like imposter syndrome is a major cause for tip 1 being so strong. The majority of people feel they lack skill and it’s hard to break out of that mentality without a little push.
@@clem I've been chipping away at it but I definitely found your video as an awesome way to show human side of software engineering. I've met so many people that have impostor syndrome and it tends to plague the tech industry heavily.
Well the base thing is never be contacted by the google, I did apply for SW E @google USA, and I am from Asia, My profile did get viewed even the LinkedIn Profile got viewed Last week by two of the Recruiter. I don't know if I am in or not but this is the first time after three application my profile got viewed after application.
@@lauroperezjr Indeed, the guy who viewed my profile I followed the same step, Although my email with respect to the position and responce that looking forward to it , etc. Right now I am actually focusing on intermediate coding skills because I believe I can get in.
Hi again! @Clément Mihailescu Congratulations on reaching 22k+, tremendous growth. I was following you more often a few weeks back but got busier into improving my DSA skills. So after such a short time, good to see your growth from 2K to 22k. Keep going! Be genuine! Don't lose out in the crowd or ego. Keep hustling! Take care of your health and mindset (VERY IMPORTANT). And thank you for the video it really helped to reset the mindset to reality (not to wait long). A Friend ;) -PB
Hi Clement, I just graduated my Masters in computer science. I have a 6 months coop/internship during my school years and now I am working for pretty big military defense company as a software engineer. I am ultra focused on Data Structure and Algorithm since we all know this is the bread and butter for top tech firms; however, do I need to do a few projects on the side? If so, how many percent of my total study time should be allocated for this? And, how do I start a meaningful project which will be worthwhile at the end? Thank you so much!!!
in my opinion you should automate both the online application and human being contacting. and maybe you re-apply each month. when you do this manually you'll feel like that you've done something really hard and you'll think it's valued at 80% of the effort, while if you automate it it'll fee easy and you'll start to do more of it. but the only thing that could hold you back is that the automation has to make each application a bit unique, which depends on your skill level of coding.
Sir, you mentioned in this video that you applied to google just 5 months after you wrote your first code. So, what you did in those 5 months to prepare for coding interview?? Can you please make a video on this.
Thanks for those great tips. I really liked the platform AlgoExpert. Although I feel purchasing it one time, should have lifetime access. Hope you consider that. I believe doing so many will go ahead and purchase it. kudos!
I just threw my CV at an Amazon job in Vancouver without thinking or hoping much (I'm from Vietnam) and got contacted, waiting for the onsite interview date. Guess my CV just somehow got lucky or it was 1 of those "stellar" thingy eh :D
@@LuisMorales-yx8di failed unfortunately. T'was a good experience though. I actually think it was kinda lucky that I failed because Covid arrived right after lol
If you understand all of the code needed to write up solutions to typical coding interview questions, you're ready to *take* the coding interviews. As for knowing when you're ready to *pass* them, that's harder to tell, but typically if you've put in the practice (for instance, doing all of the questions on AlgoExpert), you *should* be pretty well prepared.
Awesome video and even more awesome content, thanks for sharing it, Clément! I have two questions that I would love if you can help me with them. First, I live in Brazil and I don't have a visa to live in the US, this affects my chances to get into a big tech company located in the US? Second, I'm at the final semester of my CS degree, what would you recommend me to try, a internship or a full-time job? I know I'm a bit late, but thank you in advance for your attention!
Is there a language that is preferred in a company like Google for taking the coding interview? Ruby, JavaScript, Python? Wondering what I should focus on!
I wouldn't say there's a preferred language, but you really can't go wrong with one of the "big 5" languages (C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python). I'd recommend Python since it's the easiest to pick up and the least error-prone.
What kind of projects can I do as a second year student ? I know java and I have algo and data structures knowledge. I'll learn android dev as a hobby. So what would be your suggestions or could you give me some ideas, which would seem good on the CV

1, code well enough to take and pass coding interview
2, 1 to 3 engineering projects or some work experiences
3, contact google recruiter directly
4, only coding performance matters
5, communicate well, write code for what you talk
6, if you get rejected, apply again in 6 or 12 months

While True :
If I got rejected :
continue
elif : I get into Google :
break
Which language is needed?
@Rusty TNT Thanks a lot! 😊😊Ill start learning from today!
@General Roy why so negative🙄useless
I just got a mail from a google recruiter saying I should apply online and then I saw this video. messaging this lady back. Thanks Clement

Lol !
2nd option is right... His shirt actually matches his chair!! 😂
Same here 😅
Lol !
Exactly! in each and every video I always think of that 🤣.
When I get my job at Google or the big 5, I will come back and comment here to thank you again!
Have you got yet?

Same here 🎉... I'll definitely come to this chat and comment down one day
If you have a Google API on your resume they are more likely to pick you for a potential interview. At least from my experience
What does that mean ?
An api you've developed for google interview or if you're using Google's ?
Could you explain a bit more on that please?
There are also sometimes hiring freezes in some Google organisations for L3-L4 (meaning no open positions even if you pass the hiring committee), but they will still interview you.
