All, long story short, I interviewed for Google Nyc in April and was asked to wait for TM (HC approval after TM) by August. Not sure if Google is showing me a delusional dream of getting offer eventually with low head count issue getting resolved soon or it may actually hold a chance to work. Complete blank. Don’t even know if I have a question to ask, just stating what all is happening.
They are still hiring at the company level but there is a hiring freeze in a number of teams right now so you be tied to one of those teams
Any idea when will the hire freeze been lifted?
Depends on the team but the safest bet is after next year planing is mostly done - so end of Oct or so.
Which level?
L3
I see. Maybe look into expanding your team-matching preferences? I'd assume openings will start coming up this month if so. What did your recruiter/PoC have to say about this?
I am in the same boat. When was your latest conversation with your recruiter and what were you told?
More than a month back. Was told to connect back in a month when headcounts open up. What about you, what did your recruiter say last time to you? Also are you having location preference or waiting in general?
Was in the same boat as you. Ended up looking for team matches in Mountain View which has a few HC openings now!
When did you interview and how long you waited? Did you have location preference?
Good luck with you! Hope you land on your dream job.
