Hello, I work for a full time witch company last 5 years as lead engineer(senior, architect, staff level positions in different projects in fortune 100 companies) in US. I was work for a startup 2 years before the current one and 3 years in mid size companies in different countries. I lead team for 3 years, after that I worked as only architect, and recently I was piped from biggest telecom companies multi agent ai project as staff ai engineer. So I am pretty much handy at coding and system design. My team management skills are not good imo.

What is my level if I want to apply google, meta, netflix etc? I know my chance to get interview is very low, by any luck, if I got one. L3? L4? L5?
I want to prepare for google and microsoft. I failed at google, meta and amazon before.
Thanks advance

Hey folks

I want to work in google
My sister in law is in google workspace sales and she already referred me

I applied to account manager (large customer sales) but I was rejected after 3 days (the role was tagged for 2 years exp folks, I have 4 years in tech)

Right now I want to apply to creator sales specialist focusing in marketing, influencer marketing, YouTube, growth metrics (5year experience, more aligned in my case)

My background is in industries like telco and hospitality within B2B tech

It can transfer very well because of the core skills (metric monitoring, leadership, account management)

QUESTION IS: do you think Google can give me the opportunity to interview even if I don’t have agencies, programmatic exp or deep martech experience?

Please help!
Thanks in advance :)

I am a firmware engineer, applying for the platform infra senior firmware engineer role at Google. I had an initial screen which was fairly straightforward, interviewer was really friendly too. I have 2 45min onsite interviews for Google scheduled both are coding rounds. What should I expect, and any tips for keeping nerves in check? Really want this to work out !

I'm external. A recruiter reached out for a TPM (US) position, passed that phone screen, got moved to a HM screen. Things seemed to go well. At the end, he offered to go over. We went over about 20 min. In which, he let me know he wasn't even the HM, didn't really know the HM, and we even laughed about some of the bureaucracy he's seen. I had a great feeling.

End of the next day, I got a rejection notice. I reached out to the recruiter and was told I had a 6 month cool down period. I've gotten conflicting info on whether I would be a cool down or not, so I'm wondering if it was really bad that I'm on a cool down after just a HM call.

In retrospect, I might have not put enough hard numbers in the R part to a question or two? On another question I might have tried to think outside the box too much instead of giving a standard answer.

I finished my final round of Amazon interviews 12 days ago for an EHS Manager position, and haven’t heard anything from the recruiter. On Monday, 5 days after the interviewers had their meeting, my Amazon jobs application said no longer under consideration, but again no word back from the hiring manager or recruiter despite several emails.

I did get a post-interview survey but I was expecting a phone call or email about a thumbs up or down for the position. Has anyone else had this happen, or is there someone else I should reach out to? Should I give it a few more days or assume I didn’t get the position?

I thought the interviews went really well, and the final interviewer seemed very positive and optimistic afterwards so I’m hoping I’m not being pessimistic about it.

Yes. I have tried different browsers, computers, and cleared the cache and cookies. Still getting stuck here when applying.

Applied with a referral two days after posting. Am I cooked?

Hi all. Completed hiring manager screen and 3x panel for EPM ICT3 role. I thought it was all done. Recruiter asked for availability for another round with Eng Senior manager. Is this a good sign? Is it typical? What kind of questions to expect? Are the other feedbacks in or will it all be decided after this round? Any pointers are helpful.

My Google recruiter told me that I am approved for SWE L3 (down-leveled from L4 originally).
I also got a team match call the next day, call with the hiring manager went well. They told about their team, I asked some questions and then they grilled me on one my (distributed systems) project and that went well too.

8/4: Cut to three weeks later, my recruiter told the HM is still figuring out head count and also told they liked the convo they had with me and I am on top of their mind.

8/6: I follow up again as I had some EAD updates to give. but now my recruiter is OoO from 8/16 to 8/18.

What am I to make of this? Has anyone been in this situation similar to me?
Also appreciate any suggestions on what I can do next?

Is it same for everybody without apply button!!?

Guys it’s been a week since my GHA round. There is no recruiter email id. Looks like it was sent by the system so where should I reach out for updates?

I’m not sure if I should be upset at the process or more upset at my recruiter who has been terrible over the past 5-6 months. *Long sigh* I’ll try and make this quick. Process started back mid Feb as I applied for a non tech role in the US. Passed everything and even had an onsite Team Match on June 5th… Recruiter got back w/ me July 13th and said the req was being pulled down due to head count but they’d repost it and expect to get a call a couple weeks after the new req goes up. Recruiter reaches back out on Aug 3rd and says “Good morning, I would encourage you to apply to the role and I can see if I can get more information for you” the exact EMAIL. (I just copied and pasted) fast forward I applied and was thinking to myself why should I if I completed everything already…. Only to check my app status today. So around 3ish app status said assessment passed.. then around 10pm it said not proceeding… lol.. My recruiter has been completely useless this entire time. Very little information has been shared throughout my entire process. Hell he didn’t know I had a team match being the Admin from the site reached out to me.. and my very last thought on this is if I was the guy so to speak then why would I have to reapply to said new requisition? However I still never got a formal you are not the guy from my recruiter just a let me find more info and apply to new requisition to be safe… smh. Long story less long. I truly believe my time for wanting to be a part of Google has come to an end. Good luck to those that are still in the race.

I have a phone screen scheduled for SDE 2 position, but they never mentioned what it would be about. Is it standard to have leetcode + LP only OR can it contain system design, resume deep dive as well?
