@SuspiciousBug Yeah the average at Google is 1.1 years before the employee jumps ship.
But that ain't a problem for Google cuz they will always find top talent. -
What a waste of time and talent, all those hours of preparing for the exact kind of job application, interview, and coding challenge assignments required by the typical Silicon Valley company.
They must be so desperate to get any value out of their otherwise useless special knowledge, they just have to make YouTube videos out of it. -
Not surprised. I've seen videos like 'daily life of a google tech person' and it was like, going to work, take breakfast, go to a small room to answer mails, go play some pool or relaxing, go grab some lunch. Attend some meetings, review some code, go to the gym. Go home...
So they all just review code made by some random guy on github it seems xD -
@SuspiciousBug @SidTheITGuy because Google's interview process attracts top tier candidates with the promise of loads of freedom to work on fun, exciting projects, but the reality is these days it's a boring bureaucracy with not much exciting going on and loads of red tape - and after a year those candidates can easily get better and more exciting offers elsewhere.

@gitpush former might be true but the latter definitely is
Some of these Software Engineers on YouTube are so frustrating me:
YouTuber:
- Hey guys, I'm doing YouTube because I interviewed at Google/Microsoft and got rejected. I really wanted to work at Google/Microsoft because it's my dream company to work.
- Hey guys, I wanted to let you know that I got the job at Google/Microsoft. I will still be making YouTube videos.
- Hey guys, so I have resigned from Google/Microsoft after working for 1 year because blah blah
