Sure, it's worth the time if it pays off with a decent chance of a job. What percentage of programmers in the U.S. who aren't already working there have a decent chance, would you estimate?
A better question: given that it takes a month of preparation, and given my current experience/knowledge, do I have a decent chance of getting an offer from Google?
I don't really care what are the chances for an average US programmer. If I believe I have a decent chance, I will go through it, because it's worth it for me.
