15 year Old Student Hired at Google
Over at the Unofficial Google Weblog there is a post about Tom Vendetta, 15 year old from New Jersey who was recently hired by Google. I must say that’s a great start to a career!
According to I-Newswire, Tom Vendetta, a 15 year old student from just outside New Jersey has been hired by Google to work on security flaws concerning Gmail. He was found via his blog, and Google liked his experience with JavaScript and AJAX. Supposedly Tom will be receiving a “lowered salary”, placing the funds into a bank account for future education. Tom would be working from home in Jersey instead of at the GooglePlex.

for halloween. Wanting to fool a few friends, I submitted an article using the method that was provided. I entered my email (tom.vendetta@gmail.com, go ahead spam it… my internet life is over anyway =’[ ). I never got any email from the news website, so I figured it never went through. I used all fake information and forgot about it. It wasnt until around 10:35 pm that I received an instant message from MAKEBot ( a bot that sends the latest digg posts ) what did I see? “Google Hires 15 year old”. At that moment, i felt my stomach knot up and my heart drop. I knew exactly what happened and knew that I would end up regretting posting that. I am now truley regretting it. My gmail account now has 130 unread email messages, as opposed to the 5 i normally get daily. My myspace has tons of friends requests, as opposed to the 3 i get monthly. This is all going out of control and I am regretting every bit of it.
