Jump to PostSamsung might be a good spot.
Jump to Posthe can still do both. having worked for Google 'll look very good on his resume later on, unless he gets fired after a few days, naturally.
it's also possible to first work a few years and then continue studies. not as easy maybe, but still possible.
Jump to PostGoogle is always a great place for a software developer but Google isn't the only place in becomming a great software developer. There are many big companies out there that pay higher but lets be honest here, everyone knows google... even the people in China who use Baidu know Google …
Jump to Postnitin, mate, aim lower and work up. Getting into Google is a HUGE target... lets focus on getting you a big portfolio and small job first ;)

Google in Mountain View, CA is an amazing place to work as a software developer. But didn't we already establish in another thread here that you should start off at a smaller place, build up experience, and then move on?

yes, Dani you are correct. I got offer from Samsung , India. But My brother has got offer from google, India last month. and now, he is in confusion that should he drop this offer or should he go abroad for higher studies ? that is the main point for which i am asking. I am not experienced yet, i just got offer till now and I will join from June,2014.
@vegaseat is samsung a good place to work ? am i at right place for the time being ? I am asking you because people here are really experienced. So, your suggestions will be very helpful to me. thanks in advance to both of you.

Anyways... Working for Google will be great, espicially if you have finished your studies.

Here read this: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-worlds-highest-paid-software-engineers-work-for-these-25-companies-2013-4?op=1
Maybe this can help if your looking it at a salary perspective?

you're still trying to get that job at a high profile company, despite being turned down time and time again, and people telling you to start looking for some lower hanging fruit?
You're just going to get more rejections that way. There's a reason Amazon and others turned you down, and Google's going to turn you down for the same reason.

what he meant to say was that earlier, you have posted that you have recieved 2-3 high profile company rejections. He is assuming that if you "try out" for Google (or any high profile company, like those in the link i provided), your going to face another rejection. So he recommends you try going with a low profile company, maybe one in your local area?
