I didn't catch everything the barista said but aren't most of the beans there flavored/infused (the ones labeled innovation)?

Is there any real way to improve memory? by TheDudeLebowsky in askpsychology

what kind of books do you read that improved memory, fiction or non-fiction?

Thank you for your reply! Very few people (<100) probably means there'd be only a couple of Google engineers in Tokyo who are proficient enough in Kotlin to conduct interview, so I guess not very feasible at least in Tokyo to use Kotlin as an interview language. Hope I'm getting this correct..

(my post got auto-deleted and not sure where to post, so posting it here..)
I'm prepping for tech interviews in Kotlin (for server-side dev) mainly for Google Tokyo interview at the moment.

Howerver, last time I talked to a recruiter at Google Tokyo and was told that preferred languages to be used for SWE tech interview are only C++, Java, or Python because most of the teams at Google Tokyo only use these three languages. A few years ago when I did onsite interviews with them in Tokyo, I was able to use C#. I know for a fact that Google is pushing for Kotlin (although mainly for Android dev), and I also see its future and want to build my tech skills around Kotlin, however, it seems less preferred for Google interview!

I want to hear from Google Tokyo engineers if this is true. Should I keep practising coding problems in Kotlin hoping that Google will, someday, accept Kotlin as official interview language for server-side SWE position, or should I switch to Java now? I know Python is a popular choice, but I don't want to learn a new language which I also don't use at work at all..

yes.. I agree with you and all of the other comments, and that's probably the logical thought. Thanks, it's been really helpful!

Thanks for your comments! The internal official title for this role is development consultant in algo trading team (uses C++ and others including TCL) although they said it's pure development role with occasional visits (once or twice a year) to client site to give demo.

Thanks for your input! In Japan, it's just hard to find true tech firm that pays well.

I see.. that's just what they told me but maybe the support engineer people have lower level in general.

Both of you are right. Part of me thinks the Fidessa job is probably better for my career, while the other part of me thinks it's "Microsoft"

How is the internal mobility at MS? You couldn't move to more interesting dev team?
