Interview in Germany's #1 College Magazine: The Google Experience and CS Careers

In November last year, Dominik Hahn, editor at presstige and fan of a couple of the podcasts that I'm collaborating on, contacted me for an interview in their publication. Little did I know at that time, that their magazine boasts a print run of 10.000 issues. IMHO, that is pretty impressive for an entirely student run magazine.

He was particularly interested in career advice I could give for fellow CS students and my personal experiences with working for Google.

I have embedded the magazine, neatly turned to the right page for your viewing/reading pleasure, right after the jump.

If you don't speak German, let me distill the article for you: Yes, go work for Google.

It's a special place, where you are given any and every chance to evolve as an individual and engineer. This is not to say that there aren't any other workplaces that qualify, but Google definitely gets a lot of the things I was looking for right. And then some.
