Concentrate more on your analytic and abstract math



Mathematical definitions and equations, in a manner of speaking, drive the software business as everything is based on proofs and applicable methods. Any individual with the possession of outstanding analytical and abstract mathematical skills both in computer science and engineering is viewed as a priced asset by Google.

Understand algorithms and data structures
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. MIT provides the recommended online resources, and the book "The Algorithm Design Manual" which would be super helpful, too.



Understand the OS you work on



It is absolutely imperative for any budding software engineer, regardless of his desire to join Google, to understand the Operating System he is working on. The OS is the base or the foundation for a program or file, they are always configured depending on the type of OS they are going to be deployed in as the same program has to be compiled differently for two different OSs.
