even if medicine is one of the most respected professions and can directly save lives, if one does not have the passion for it, regrets will almost always follow. :P

if you’d go into compsci, you’d wish you didn’t switch. hahahahaha
i’m a web programmer. i know.
those perks are only good for a select few.
and you’d have to work your arse off to get to that position or be genius enough to be appreciated.

“…having kick-ass coding skills (in C, C++, Java and Python).”

“…candidates with an MS or PhD degree in CompSci and are adept in “network programming and/or developing or designing large software systems” will be in a better position to vie for the Software Engineer post.”

The job scope seems too broad and looks to me like a severe multi-tasking position. They probably have a decent salary offer for the qualified participant, but it reeks of early burnout.

@Justin @ezy – i work at a software company and i know the culture of the industry. google won’t be the google we know today if they hire sub-standard employees. and of course if you don’t work up to their standard then surely you’re not the type of people they need. it’s what being best of the best is all about.

besides, that’s what those perks are for, to alleviate burnout and keep a healthy mind because at the end of the day, it’s your performance that counts. they give great perks as we all have seen because they demand your best. i don’t see anything wrong with that. they’re well compensated for their work. :)

@ Dennis and Dada – unless you worked at a software company then you will never understand what Justin is trying to point here

@ Dennis and Dada: Yes, I’ve seen the videos. I’ve even read the TIME magazine spread about it. But you have to keep in mind that all those ‘perks’ come at a price. They give you all those perks (you’ve already mentioned most of it) to basically entice you to ‘live where you work’. It’s the same strategy being applied by Facebook to their employees. But at the end of the day, your performance is what counts. That’s what I meant by burnout. If you don’t perform/surpass their standards and expectations, then I’m sure you’ll be on the next flight back to NAIA, and you can kiss all those perks goodbye.

If you only knew how Google treats their employees…

Don’t you know Google pays IT graduates very high? Their are consistent as one in the TOP10 employer in USA… their workplace looks like heaven, free food, free everything you need. Its like living a life where everything you need is within your reach…. keep in mind you are working and not enjoying…. hahah what a work.

In few months… I’ll be graduating IT, C++ is hard… hahahah.

Have you seen Google videos about their work place? I don’t think you will get “burnout” with all those toys, perks and bright people around you.
