Hi , I think this is really inspiring! What would you recommend for someone who is still at a-level stage? Work experience? What skills should I start honing now? Thank a lot I love ❤️ your videos

@GigaGab 11 ай бұрын

Thank you! Appreciate it 🤍 Assuming this is a question for software engineer, at A-level I’d focus on getting into a good CS (or related) bachelors degree, and if you have free time explore coding projects that interest you. As for work experience, it may be hard to work while prepping for A-levels, so perhaps see if there are summer internships! I respect your proactiveness so early on, you’ll be great ☺️

Thanks for commenting (it’s humorous :)) yes that’s one of the possible paths, though everyone who joined has a unique story. Have a nice day too!

Great video!!! Keep it up 👍🏻, How much time did it take you to become good at leetcode style questions?

@GigaGab 11 ай бұрын

Thank you, appreciate it! I practiced Leetcode strategically for 5 months when I noticed progress (I’ve dabbled in Leetcode before). Please stay tuned for part 2 of the video on tips to prep for Leetcode style coding interview 🙌

@@099watcher Thanks! I practiced around 1-2 hours on average (shorter on weekdays and longer on weekends) and solved around 300 Leetcode questions :)

Congrats on the position! I like how structured your video is. Perhaps just make the text visuals smoother (letter by letter vs word by word/showing words as you say them out loud). Hope you grow more ^^

@GigaGab 11 ай бұрын

Thanks a lot :)! Thanks for your suggestions on the text animation as well, I’ll try to improve it in the next video

Thanks for sharing. Just curious, what technologies and langs do you use at google?

@GigaGab 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! :) I work on the test infrastructure for Chrome, so I often use an open-source Chromium CI system called LUCI built on GCP (chromium.googlesource.com/infra/infra/+/main/doc/users/services/about_luci.md). Most of the tech stack and tooling I use are developed in-house. In terms of language, a good mix of Python, Java and a Google build config language - Starlark.

I joined Google as part of the Fitbit acquisition. That's a less common way to become a software engineer in Google.

@GigaGab 11 ай бұрын

Joining by acquisition is interesting, plus you get a taste of both companies! Thanks for sharing :)
