Google has fallen off….
recently one of my classmates got an internship offer from google for SWE role, (shedding some light this guy applied last year and his selection happened this year). To be completely honest (I’m not being salty here) this guy can barely even make stuff, the only thing he did for this past year was to do only dsa, he reached pupil in cf and has 1300 something ratting on LeetCode and a 3* on cc, the most bizarre part is that on his resume which he gave he had mentioned that he had made his own GAN from scratch and just recently we had our viva for deep learning where the external asked him the difference between GAN & Perceptron and bro couldn’t even say a word…he sat there pretending to think and the fact that this guy got an offer from google raise my doubts on google….. are they blind ? or are big tech companies (FAANG) only focused on dsa these days that they hire ransoms like these ? The worst part that follows this is that now across the entire college this guy is flexing his apparent prowess in getting this offer….who’s gonna tell him it was pure luck ffs…me & my friend both were sad not because he got it but because there were / are people out there who deserve it more than he does and the fact that he knows almost nothing about development and has never been remotely close to develop something got this offer…it seriously is confusing….
