Have Some Background in Abstract Math
People with a math background did fine, of course, but people with a heavy abstract thinking is absolutely a skill that every employers needs and Google precisely.
Like logical reasoning and discrete math, which lots of computer science draws on. Individuals who can hone discrete mathematics skills in computer science and engineering are more likely to land a job at Google because the subject mainly emphasizes mathematical definitions and proofs as well as applicable methods.
Understand Algorithms and Data Structures
Having an in-depth understanding on every component of software engineering is not mandatory; however, it is important to hone the skill and understand the subject of data structures and algorithms to land a job at Google.
Since the use of data structures and algorithms is the nuts-and-bolts of programming to store and manipulate data, Google wants its new hires to learn about fundamental data types like stacks, queues, and bags, as well as grasp sorting algorithms like quicksort, mergesort, and heapsort. So if you want to get these under your belt, MIT provides the recommended online resources, and the book "The Algorithm Design Manual" which would be super helpful, too.
