A friend mentioned to me Google is hiring and lots of Yahoo!s are jumping off the sinking ship and heading to google, so I should try.

Well, maybe … but no, there are some difficulties I need to overcome before I can be google:

  • I can hardly believe I can pass any interviews there, thinking of they like talking about algorithms so much.
  • I’m less confident on my educational background, all that I heard of is they prefer master/PhD from famous universities and I have nothing to do with these two
  • I believe their culture is for youth, who can live in campus for days or weeks without leaving, while I want to have my family life
  • I will be absolutely abnormal if I still don’t have lunch even if the company provides free lunch

So the conclusion is that I will stay here for some time, even I move on in the future, google can hardly be my destination.

Pity to google – I have some friends in China are really good in this area, but none of them works for google, could be because of any reasons above ๐Ÿ˜› .
