I think that's step 3 or 4. Step 2 is another phone interview with a Google engineer(s). But they sent page after page of "preparation materials" and it's just...ugh. It looks like studying for a final and I didn't even apply! It seems like they should have a different process when the pursuit goes the other way.

I don't think I could honestly claim either depth or breadth. (Or maybe a little breadth--I don't know how broad the typical programmers stable of languages is.) I just don't have much depth in their "big five". I don't really base my career on knowing a bunch of facts, especially perilous in these days of Google (ironically) and when new languages come out every month. I should have told them I know Go... _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
