Skills to Focus on to land Big 5 Software Engineer Position
- by Megadeth.Metallica
Guys, I'm in my penultimate quarter of grad school and have a software engineering internship lined up at a big 5 tech company.
I have dabbled a lot recently in Python and am average at Java.
I want to prepare myself for coding interviews when I apply for new grad positions at the Big 5 tech companies when I graduate at the end of this year.
Since I want to have a good shot at all 5 companies (Amazon,Google,Yahoo,Microsoft and Apple) - Should I focus my time and effort on mastering and improving my Java. Or is my time better spent checking out other languages and tools ( Attracted to RoR, Clojure, Git, C# )
I am planning to spend my spring break implementing all the common algorithms and Data structure out of my algorithms textbook in Java.
