Как подавать заявки в вузы США

Процесс подачи заявок проходит примерно так:

• Сначала надо предварительно выбрать вузы, в которые вы будете подавать заявку.
• В августе-сентябре надо зарегистрироваться на три стандартных экзамена и оплатить их ($255 + $150 + $195). Отправка результатов в четыре вуза бесплатно, но их надо будет выбирать между регистрацией и днем экзамена.
• Где-то к концу октября их всех нужно уже сдать. Потом можно за дополнительные деньги рассылать результаты в другие вузы.
• Где-нибудь в середине ноября попросить трех людей написать вам рекомендации.
• В начале декабря заняться заполнением анкет в вузах.
• Написать Statement of Purpose.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real
