Missing the forest for the binary trees

Yeah, I had the same thought. Just because you have a ton of experience that suggests you'd be good at doing a job doesn't mean a tech company would do something silly like hire you for that job.

Furthermore, you may simply be uninterested in the sort of tasks google might give you.

Like inverting binary trees

I want to say it'd never come up (because it's never come up for me) but I just remembered Google is a search engine.

It may very well be that they have inverted binary trees on every desk.

Yes... I am aware inverted indexes are not binary trees.

I am about to ask the same question. LOL
