No, if a fresher has these requirements then it makes sense higher positions would demand it too, if not freshers then the probability would still remain higher for higher positions imo. 
 Atleast for SDE.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

It was a pretty straightforward and decent competition to let people practise their DSA, this also helped in people getting brownie points towards recruiters (atleast in India). Now Google has started a new series of competitions called ML Olympiad 2023.


I have 2 simple questions
1. If Google has shifted their focus to AI, as is evident by their rush towards Bard, does it mean they will now be looking for engineers who can work with AI ?
So people who wish the G tag, and consequently FAANG/MANGA/etc. (a predictable stretch) would *need* some experience with AI ?

2.  If not, then do you think FAANG would just casually resume hiring someday with the same old requirements ?

I'm just wondering because I was preparing for G with DSA and some projects but not AI.

Now that Google has retired Codejam, how will Google hire in India ?

Contemplating between an offer at Google vs a Series A startup, in India, with similar pay.

I'm curious to know if Google as a name on the resume (or for future prospects) is still as big as it was maybe 5-8 years ago? 

Or is India just a low cost employee centre for them and it'll always be down-the-stream work, at the whims of middle/senior managers?

Happy to hear any thoughts (and answer any questions)!

Is Google/FAANG still as sought after?

Data engineer

Every other person I see on Linkedin/Fb is joining Google. 
Can anyone from inside shed some light here? 
How's the work culture and quality of life? 

Reminded me of the good old days when everyone was joining Amazon.

What's happening in Google?

Google is on a hiring spree. But they have reduced their compensation and are also lowballing massively.

Travelling over the next few hours. Thought of doing an AMA. 
First job out of college, 8+ year experience. TC :1.8cr

OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman testified against Congress(USA wala) and the end result seems to be there will be global regulations on AI. There might be a transparency law that dictates what Data is used for training.

Now I have a few questions:

1. Is it a pro game move by OpenAI to slow down AI Training of smaller companies that are just starting out?
2. Since big tech has back door access to law makers lobby(as we saw in case if right to repair), will they bend the regulations per there liking?
3. Given countries like US and China have supremacy over AI Research, will it curtain AI Development in countries like India?
4. Will Google Bard again cry in trashcan?

2022 graduate here, working as a software engineer.
I feel that software engineering has less to do big in future compared to Ai/ML. Need your thoughts on what are my possibilities and pros cons on choosing different paths.

1. Stick to software engineer, will get promoted in some time and i can utilise some skills developed during this year and past internship. 

For next two paths, i will need to study as I don't know much about Ai/ML. Please suggest resources and way if you thing these could be good.

2. Switch teams in Google to some Ai/ML team.

3. Switch firm to some startup on Ai and can learn more things there. If this, then are companies out there how can will consider my this experience, i would want more pay than what i am earning as of now.


Happy to read all the comments and your pov.

Software Engineer or Ai ML

In Google Bangalore office, my team has few WITCH employees on contractual basis having salaries in range of 5-6 lakhs with work experience of 2-4 years. 

While permanent Google employees are not allowed to use o1 models on official laptop, WITCH employees have no such constraints. 

In last 3-4 days, WITCH employees are outperforming few permanent Google employees (having salaries in range of 60 lakhs to 1 crores) of my team.

This has convinced me that once Orion, Gemini 2 (embedded with Alpha zero, Alpha proof technique) etc. is released within year end, most dedicated WITCH employees (having salary of 5 lakh rs. ) can contribute in software development more than FAANG employees not using these AI tools.

I witnessed smth in Google which convinced me that WITCH companies can solve the problem of 'perennial problem of unemployable graduate'.

Google is hiring a Layoff Support team Partner

Engineering Manager

Can anybody working at Google India, throw some light on what’s happening with Hiring. Seeing some posts related to layoff, people interviewing, people getting ghosted by recruiters after interviews. I’ve seen few people waiting for their interview feedback for few weeks after completing their all interview rounds. Is google going to stop hiring or there are too many candidates applying? Any insights would be helpful. Thanks

Now that Google has retired Codejam, how will Google hire in India ?
