[shanked]

In Fall 2009, with only 1 year of experience with high-level web programming and no computer science background (BS in Management), I created the goal of working at Google within 3 years.

I enrolled in graduate school pursuing M.S. Computer Science, watched online course lectures, read textbooks, worked on a number of pet projects, and learned new programming languages... all while working full-time.

I'm now 9/30 credits towards my Masters degree and currently interviewing with Google (made it through 2 steps thus far). While I may or may not get an offer, it is just another step on the path to reach my goal.
