Because if you were you would have got the interview even if you had not done any work at all for an year ( telling you by my experience ) . I got the interview second time without doing any pre-screen or phone interview, just flew directly to their campus sounds mean but dude, i thought just tell you that. better than wasting time on the google interviews.

I said as much in the post. The training was definitely of value. The mistake was doing it for Google, rather than for myself. That led to disappointment. Bryan,

I think it's probably too harsh to say it was a 'tremendous mistake', at least from this standpoint. On another note, I've made a similar mistake in the past of wanting something like this so much and focusing on it the way you did that when it did not turn out exactly as I had imagined I wanted it to, it was sorely disappointing. That, plus, when you hold something like this up to such a high regard, I'd bet you're only setting yourself up for disappointment even if you do get it, because you'll eventually find out that farts still stink even inside the walls of Google (or whatever the situation happened to be). At any rate, I wouldn't view the time you spent and skills you learned as a waste, they're far from it - they'll just be helping you somewhere else.
