>You aren't going to gain the skills gained by a four year education in a week.

I know someone who was able to pull it off in 2 weeks, though they were unemployed at the time. They got into Google with 7 years of prior experience at the time. He admits a lot of it was luck. But it's possible.



I'm guessing it's the 7 years of experience that impressed Google, not the two weeks of cramming.


Your background only matters for getting the interview. Whether or not you are hired depends on your actual performance during the onsite.


Yes, but his performance was more aided by his 7 years of experience than his two weeks of cramming.
