2020 Q4 Financial Update Part 3: Personal and Blog update

24 comments

Hi Ripsters,

WordPress reminds me that this is post number 200 on the blog! Wo-ooh, let’s party! What a better way to celebrate than writing about personal and blog updates of last quarter?

I know that Q4 2020 seems a geological era ago, I know that we’re closer to the end of Q1 2021 (which means another update will come in a month or so), and that a lot has changed in last two months, at least in my intentions. But let’s do it anyway, I’m sure you’ll find it interesting.

Let’s get started 🙂

How to get a chance of being interviewed at Google

2 comments

Hi Ripsters,

This is the second (and last) extract from Mock Software Interview F.A.Q. that addresses how to maximize your chances of having your application being considered by large tech companies.

If you don’t care about applying for a FAANG, or how to pass a Google interview you can skip this.

Sorry for the spam. I’m done with it, promised 🙂

Enjoy!

What did I learn from almost 100 Tech Interviews at Google?

11 comments

Hi Ripsters,

I recently launched a Mock Software Interview service, meant for people who are ready to apply for a Software Engineer position in large tech companies.

I’ve added a FAQ section in the service page but I realized that two of them might be worthy a post on their own, since I kept being asked those questions frequently.

I’ve extracted in this post the answer to the Most Frequently Asked Question (MFAQ?), so that I can point to it directly when asked via email.

If you don’t care about applying for a FAANG, or how to pass a Google interview you can skip. Sorry for the spam. I will probably extract another large piece of that FAQ into its own post later this week.

Enjoy!

It’s almost 5 years I’m writing on this blog, and I’ve been hiding behind the Mr. RIP pseudonym.

I will continue to call myself Mr. RIP, but from now on you can also call me Giorgio 🙂

Monthly Learning Journal 12 (1/2/2021)

8 comments

Hi RIP readers, welcome to the Monthly Learning journal.

It’s been an intense month. Many things happened in RIP household and on the webs, and I’m spending maaaaybe too much time on the internets these days.

I’m trying to make this MLJ short (LOL) because I’m prepping the 2020 Q4 Update Part 3, which will be the beginning of a new era for RIP 🙂

This Month WLJ themes are: investing, mastery, goals vs systems, thinking, and the anti-FIRE crowd.

Next Episode on Monday March 1st, 2021.

This MLJ is also available in my public Roam Database with expanded notes when available, and extra content 😉

Enjoy!
