I'm currently a Master's student at a tier 2 University. I recently had 3 telephonic interviews with Google for Summer internship. It seems I have a 4th interview coming up next week, which would again be telephonic. I was wondering if it's normal to have so many interviews. I'm also pretty late to the party considering host matching and all. Any views would be appreciated.
Never heard of anyone getting a fourth. Honestly doesn't matter. Your chances of getting a match this late is very low.
That's encouraging ๐
They're giving you the truth. If I were you, I would try to do really well at phone interview, pass HC, and then tell recruiter you're very open in terms of domain, time/season of internship, etc. There are fall/spring internships as well so you might be better off asking for fall. Summer must be done/very close to done.
