- Transfer
Google is recruiting people again.
This is great news for thousands of novice managers and software developers who want to find a peaceful marina on these difficult days.
Now the bad news:
- Google prefers people from the " Ivy League "
- They are interested in your grades (at the institute), even if you are already over 30
- They are looking for people who want to change the world.
