Google/Microsoft Software Engineer Salary

<p>But there aren’t unlimited eggs…</p>

<p>there is a correct answer. assume that you start with nth floor, you want evenly divide each subsequent drop’s steps with the consideration for the drops you have taken already to reach the correct answer. so for each subsequent steps, the gap will be n-1, n-2… and n-(k-1). Two constraints: n + n-1, … + n-(k-1) >= 100 & n>= k.
the first will give you kn - k((k-1)/2) >= 100. take k=n, you will have n(n+1)>=200. the smallest n = 14.</p>

<p>Please see my post above.</p>

<p>you are welcome to apply to Google for internship:)</p>

<p>Anyone have updates on numbers for 2012 graduates?</p>

<p>Sorry if this is repeitious, but a manager I know at Microsoft hires all his people starting at $86k this past year. These are engineers and computer scientists, straight out of university (he was talking about Waterloo in particular, as that was the point of our conversation at the time).</p>

<p>lol, yeah i was thinking the same thing. everyone’s solution is good and all, but they all ignore the whole “2 egg” thing. </p>

<p>I’m actually interning at Microsoft this summer as a Program Manager. =)</p>

<p>Hey davdue2012,</p>

<p>did you mean the summer of 2012? Have people been invited for the second round of interviews already?</p>

<p>Kamran, I do know of CS majors at strong Uni’s with CS programs getting summer internships at an $85k basis, so I’m sure Purdue is going to be up there. Ask you Career Center how your Uni is doing. Get some internships and research for summer and winter breaks as well, to build a CV.</p>

<p>Why the difference between CS and CE, I have my own speculation, but my daughter did a lot of liberal arts and her math and computer skills came with a lot of advanced critical thinking and liberal arts coursework that Engineers don’t often have time for, that makes a very attractive candidate sometimes. Just a random guess.</p>

<p>First, the answer doesn’t matter what is important is how you ask questions, how you approach a problem you don’t/do understand, and how you take input to change a question. They will always start with a relatively simple problem and try to see how you handle criticism and how you respond to changes in the question. </p>

<p>I think the unlimited eggs is simple to any CS major, its just a binary/interpolation search-esque answer. And with 2 eggs you can still have unlimited drops, you just have only two breaks to determine the floor. Which means you can use a solution similar to the 10-20-30… version which uses the first break to determine the interval of ten and the second to determine the exact number [but another interval might could be used]</p>

<p>The AVERAGE CS graduate will not get a significant amount more than the average mechanical engineering graduate, but CS is a very large and diverse field (and a hip field), which means that the top end is very different from the average and bottom end, but the top end jobs are incredibly hard to get. A perfect resume can often not net you a job because of an above average interview (I say above average because you need a GREAT interview for these top jobs). </p>

<p>Luckily, I ended up with a job at one of the aforementioned silicon valley firms, but I interviewed with many many more that I did not get an offer from. With Computer Science the best will get incredible jobs, but there are tons of people I know graduating in CS <3.5 GPA who have just about nothing.</p>

<p>One of my friends recently accepted a PM position at Microsoft for 95k out of undergrad.</p>

<p>Hello everyone, I’m 15 years old and im planning to do something in the field of computers and was wondering what everyone suggests is the highest paying field? Would something such as software engineer be a good field to go into?</p>
