    ☕ Currently doing A levels in the UK but want to eventually work for Google as a software engineer in the USA. What are ur tips. I plan on going to university but idk where. Should I go in the UK or USA. Also, how do I transfer between the two countries (i.e. apply to a US university with UK qualifications.) Thanks 👍

If I done that and apply as a founder of a successful company as my working experience, they may consider that as my working experience and hire me as AI or Software Engr.

  • @aashkashah3
    @aashkashah3 2 года назад

    Jon, I would correct you in one place. It is not correct that "Google can hire anyone." I have repeatedly rejected opportunities to interview at Google. There are many people who don't prefer Google. I understand that it is easy to make that assumption, but that assumption is not correct. In my opinion, it is just a money trap. Also, in general, I don't prefer too big companies. It is amazing to know how much people working at big companies don't know about the people/work-culture/mindset of people working at smaller companies.
    Also, people working at Google and other giants think that they are hired because they were the best in the applicant pool. The reality is that only the mediocre ones get hired. The best candidates don't get hired because they are a threat to many people's jobs and promotions. Please note that I am not trying to disrespect anyone by calling them mediocre, but just putting out the truth. I think mediocre skills are extremely valuable to the world, we as a society have not learned to appreciate importance of it. Exceptionally intelligent engineers and mediocrely intelligent engineers have their own use cases. People who own/run the companies, know this very clearly; they dont and cant speak about this openly.

    • @yourfriendintech

      To be honest I'm not sure - I guess it depends on what you actually learn. For example, a lot of the larger tech companies do not require a degree as long as you have the relevant skills and experience to do the job
