I made it to the 4th interview with Google. When they say they want a "developer" they really mean they want a developer/sysadmin/kernel hacker/c/c++ guru. I nailed all the Python questions in interviews #2 and #3, but then at interview #4 they started asking inode questions, how to implement a compiler, how to design my own version of memcopy(), etc. It didn't really matter to them that I had 2M downloads on Google Play, or that I knew Ruby, Rails, Python, Django, PHP, iOS and Java.. I didn't know how to move 2GBs of memory from here to there without using memcopy(), so that was that :( > I have basic knowledge in python,c,java and good in javascript,html,css, > database concepts. My story above was a preface to the fact that "basic knowledge" usually isn't enough for hot tech companies like Google. From what I understand Facebook is becoming more C and less PHP all the time. And I imagine they use a lot of C and assembly at Cisco since that's mostly embedded device work. > If i learn django and python. Shall I get my dream job?
