You will need a referral. At that level most likely you are looking at Intern / University Grad role.

One option is to join an Intern program at Google; this will give you some time to ramp up and onboard with internal processes. As @jobclout mentioned below, the other way is to get a referral from an existing employee. You can search online on the TeamBlind app for anyone willing to refer you.

First of, that's a wonderful article.

However with the numbers you mentioned, I am finding difficulty in realizing them. For instance is $2,25,200 "Two million ...." or "Two hundred and twenty-five thousand".

I hope you understand?

I saw that in all the figures except for this figure $4,08,0420 where you included a zero prior to the last three digits.

Could you check and revert for me please.
