How to get a job at Google (Originally Posted: 12/16/2010)
Two stories with advice from two top companies (KPMG and Google) - how they select their candidates and what it takes to be hired:
"I’m looking for people who can hit the ground running immediately. They need to be able to run a project, engage with clients and with partners, deal with multiple projects and priorities and also manage junior consultants."

It's easy. Study CS or Comp. E for four years at a top 20 CS school and demonstrate a strong knowledge of algos in the interview. Bing and done- err, "I'm feeling lucky."

Kid from my school did Google summer program in Platforms Finance...non-CS --> business major...got McK and BCG offers in OCR...went back to Google with those offers and demanded Strategic Planning/Corp Dev and got it.
