Btw disclaimer, this post is 90% story time, 10% book review 🥸 This is my second reading of the book. First time I read it was back in 2015 when I was just one year into my career in HR. Hungry from some guidance, I read the book. And now, 8 years later, I decided to read it again. I have been working for 9 years now in HR and i thought well, maybe the years gone by allow me to pick up new things from the book! So I read it again! Hahah.
I would say, it is still a good reference and I noticed that the parts I didn’t understand in my first reading, NOW I understand. And the parts that I found boring previously, is now interesting. And I noticed that this time around, I don’t really focus on the findings…but rather on how they conduct their research. See, the thing that truly amazes is the way HR team of Google works. It is very highly scientific, imho. They do a lot of people analytics, A/B testing, and experimentations. Only recently am I delving into a large scale experiment and I really enjoyed this aspect of my work. And reading the way Google goes about this is very mindblowing.
The I thought to myself, “well maybe it is not too late for me to be like Prasad Setty (Google VP of Prople Analytics)… let me see what kind of education I need to have to be like him!” So I went to his LinkedIn and damn, the man is an IIT graduate. And then Carnegie Mellon. And then Wharton Business. Wah. Different already 🙈🙈🙈
