Get that job at Google

If you really wanna work at Google, why not build something cool and possibly get bought out by Google instead? Better than trying to join through this (broken?) interview process.

Personally, I'd rather not have 10 different bosses above me... but that's just me.

Anything that puts me that low on an organizational chart is incredibly unappealing to me. The conventional corporate path of becoming a director after working really hard seems crazy to me. And forget about becoming an executive.

I agree with you about joining low in the "org" chart being unappealing.

But the comment about having to "work really hard" to become a director confuses me...

It seems all paths to extreme success involve hard work..

Working really hard to become a couple steps down on an org chart is much less appealing to me than working really hard and having a self-sustaining or acquired business.
