Google is among the most sought after employers in

the world. Engineers are the rock stars at Google — and

they're paid like one.

Interns start at $70,000 to $90,000 salaries, while

software engineers pull in $118,000 and senior

software engineers make an average of $152,985. But

one does not simply walk into the Googleplex.

The company receives upwards of 2.5 million job

applications a year, but only hires about 4,000 people.

For would-be Googlers, the Google in Education team

has released a list of skills that they want to see in

potential engineers.

"Having a solid foundation in computer science is

important in being a successful software engineer," the

company says. "This guide is a suggested path for

university students to develop their technical skills

academically and non-academically through self-

paced, hands-on learning."

Here are the skills Google wants its tech talent to

master, complete with online resources to get you

started...


Learn to code in at least one object-oriented

programming language, like C++, Java, or Python.

Consult MIT or Udacity.

1. Learn To Code

It’s not just important to know how to code. You shoul

also be able to test code, because Google wants you to

be able to 'catch bugs, create tests, and break your

software.'

2. Test Your Code

It is important to have some background in abstract

math, like logical reasoning and discrete math, which

lots of computer science draws on.

3. Have Some Background In Abstract Math

Get to know operating systems, for they'll be where you

do much of your work.

4. Get To Know Operating Systems

Become familiar with artificial intelligence. Google love

robots.

5. Become Familiar With Artificial Intelligence

Google wants you to learn about fundamental data

types like stacks, queues and bags as well as grasp

sorting algorithms like quicksort, mergesort and

heapsort.

6. Understand Algorithms And Data Structures

Learn cryptography. Remember, cybersecurity is

crucial.

7. Learn Cryptography

Stanford says that when you do that, 'you will learn how

a program written in a high-level language designed fo

humans is systematically translated into a program

written in low-level assembly more suited to machines

8. Learn How To Build Compilers

Add Java Script, CSS, Ruby and HTML to your skillset.

W3school and CodeAcademy are there to help.

9. Learn Other Programming Languages

Also, learn parallel programming because being able to

carry out tons of computations at the same time is

powerful.


10. Learn Parrallel programming
