Congratulations! Hope the job is everything you've dreamed of.
A Game of Thrones? This sentence practically needs spoilers.

He was very personable and noticed that I had brought along A Game of Thrones, so he made small talk about some of the characters and really helped to break the ice.

| What a great story, really interesting and well written. Glad to hear that they like you and good luck in your google interview. Hope that goes well also. I am going out for a google internship for next summer. Hope that works out. Blog your google interview experience also please! |

| As a seattle-ite, I feel obligated to tell you that food is ridiculously expensive here. When you can find a place that fills you up for less than 5 dollars, you frequent that place until they raise the prices. 8 dollars for a sandwich is completely normal, sadly. |

Thanks everybody! That came as a complete surprise, getting 4 pages of responses overnight.
I am a little concerned about whether or not I disclosed too much information. I figured a lot of the things I wrote were pretty general, and these things will change greatly from person to person. I know a lot of what I've wrote is pretty widely available on the web already, but maybe I should have been a bit more careful.

| Very nice, and good luck man. Don't get too stressed about Google interviews though. If you are confident in your abilities, then the Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. interviews are all relatively similar with a varying degree of difficulty. It's interesting to actually hear the whole process from someone else who interviewed with them since my friends and I only casually talked about how the process was. Very useful writeup for those looking at the main software engineering companies. |

It's never too late. :D The job market right now is quite good as well, if you have the skills and have specifically made yourself marketable by taking practical classes or taking on internships.

I've heard of obfuscation in general, I don't know much about it.
Why?

I just wrote some powershell coding to use white space obfuscation to hide my Password to an administrator account that i need to call in my script but i dont want it to be locked into a secure string.
So what you do is you find the ASCII value of the letters in your password, you then conver that ascii value into a Binary code (obviously composed of only zero's and ones). Using ascii values 9 and 32 you can then turn all of your zeros and ones into Spaces and Tabs which are spit out into a .txt. When viewed with the naked eye the .txt looks blank, but its full of TABS and Spaces that get DEcoded back into your script as the password.
More of a hacker method used in VB that we are using in our enterprise "ethically"
Something fun |

Ahaha, wow... That is pretty awesome actually. So like 'tab' decodes to 0 and 'space' decodes to 1 or vice versa?

>They knew I was going to interview at Google afterwards.
This is a big one, how did they find out / did you tell them? If you somehow give them the impression that they might be missing out on talent that Google is about to get their hands on they will bend over backwards to hire you. GJ |

Good luck, stay chill, take a cup of water when offered (if only to get a breather), and don't forget to ask clarifying questions! |

| Thanks for sharing, I got nerves just reading through your interview process. You seem like a really talented programmer so I hope you get an offer at Google as well and face the ultimate first world problem choosing to work between Microsoft or Google. |

| Sounds a lot like my experience when I interviewed, especially the part about driving to the hotel! It was kind of terrifying taking the rental through dark, unfamiliar streets to find the hotel in Bellevue. Congrats! Sorry I couldn't make the dinner, I was actually hosting another friend from college that was interviewing that day. |
