Like many others, Google has the referral bonus so several of my friends sent my resume (without asking me though) to their HR contact. So I got calls from two or three HR specialists and one of them was really insisting. That was when I was a PhD student in Australia. I was once in the Google office in Sydney, and that office is probably the most comfortable one that I have ever seen. Great place, great view, no muc…
This is very interesting. Few employees I know at Google are very busy and working in several things at the same time.

I'm 26 and I think the same too. I have the need to build something where every line of code matters, making people's life easier instead of working in a big company.
