We all know that getting placed in Google is one of the most desirable employers in the world. Engineers at Google are the masters, and their salary is high enough. For Google employees salaries for Interns start from $70,000 to $90,000. Whereas for the software engineers can get from $118,000 and senior software engineers would make up for an average of amount $152,985.
Not only Google top companies like Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft pays a good amount of salaries to the Software engineers. But, getting placed in good companies is not an easy job and takes in a lot of skill.
A lot of good skills are required from a software engineer background to get placed in the large enterprises. Happily, Google has released a list of skills required that they expect from an engineer who applies for a job at Google. The list will help to secure job in Google and other top companies if you follow and improve the list.
Check the list below:
1. First and foremost thing to do is Mastering the foundation. Go through an introduction to CS classes, from sites like Coursera or Udacity and improve your foundation skills.
2. Learn any one of the object-oriented programming languages like Java, C++, or Python.
3. Don’t restrict your limits learn few other programming languages like CSS, Ruby, JavaScript, and HTML. These programming languages will help to improve your skill levels. CodeAcademy and W3school have the best tutorials to learn.

4. Always Test your code and others too. It is like finding your mistake and being smart. Google wants developers to “Find bugs, make tests, and play with software.” Head over to Udacity.
5. Have a good grip in abstract math. Abstract Math is a math-like logical reasoning and discrete math. This helps a lot of computer science depends on the situation. MIT has good mathematics courses available for computer science.
6. Understand data structures and algorithms. Google wants engineers to learn about data types like queues, stacks, and bags, as well as grasp, sorting algorithms like merge sort, quicksort, and heapsort. MIT provides these prescribed online resources.
7. Having good knowledge on the operating system because it is where you do most of your work at. The University of California and Berkeley provides the courses.
8. Know Artificial Intelligence. It is known from long time Google loves AI and robots. Stanford has courses on it.
9. Learn to develop compilers. By learning to develop compilers, you will learn how a program is written in a high-level language designed for humans is systematically translated into a program written in low-level assembly more suited to machines. Coursera is best for learning about compilers.
10. Learn about cryptography. These days cybersecurity has become a crucial part. Udacity and Coursera provide courses.
11. Learn about the parallel programming because being able to carry out a lot of computations at the same time is super powerful. The University of Illinois has good courses on it.
Sir i’m in 12th standard . What course will i select after plus two?
Comment:it is important to have this requirements so i am studying Eng now but i am working with u for free if you allow me that
What all we can say about this article..that you should have to full knowledge of computer science engineering..you should be the rajnikant
nice info, very interesting…
Hey Ananth
Thanks for putting together this post on skill needed to get a software engineering job with google.It is a great read. I particularly find the 11 list of skills required by google for employment interesting
.Keep up these insightful posts.
Cheers!
When you worked so hard studied that hard now you are master of all those skills,are you an idiot why be a servant of these companies why not work even harder and establish your own startup . No one will tell you what I am saying. No one wants even a small competitor . They will just keep you engaged in useless stuffs like competitive programming, abstract mathematics. Go and ask the founder of OYO room de he wasted his time learning this shits or he just focused on one specific useful thing. Think again you want to be a rich servant or your BOSS.
Great lines
