If I Don't Have A Computer Science Degree, Can I Still Get A Software Engineering Job At Google?
How can I prepare myself to be a software engineer at Google without a CS degree? You don't actually need a computer science degree t0 be a Google engineer. You're unlikely to get in the door without one, or at least being a bit famous, or having sufficient work experience, and being self-taught well enough to understand what's meant by O(log2(n)) and O(1) and O(n) and O(n 2). And know the difference between a hash table, a trie, and a B-tree, and how to balance the latter and make a perfect version of the former. In other words: you need to know what you would have known, had you obtained the degree. And then they have to know you know it, which is where the famous part comes in.
