Blind fam, I recently had an onsite (SWE, likely L5) with Google on Friday last week and just got an email from the recruiter saying "just waiting on 1 piece of feedback and will have next steps for you tomorrow" and asking for my availability to jump on a phone call. Is this good news/ bad news? I don't know how to interpret it and I'm too anxious now. TC: 240k YOE: 6 Update: Got a reject call for the uneven performance in coding rounds. But the recruiter said they are keeping me in the callback loop, meaning I can do on-site directly after 6 months
TC , YOE?
Updated in the main post
6yoe. I dont think they will target u for L5. Anyway good luck
Can you elaborate? I thought L5 is Sr SE
Max is L3?
You're not going to get L5 with 6 yoe. At least that would be very rare.
Phone calls are usually bad news. :/ Hope I’m wrong. Good luck mate! And keep us posted :)
Got a reject today 😒. Thanks all that responded
How was the interview? Can you talk about system design section? Good luck. I am sure it will be great feedback as well :)
I did pretty well in the system design but sorta fumbled in one of the coding rounds.
What do you mean by ‘fumbled’? Did you solve the problem? Finish the code? For L5, any blunders in coding round can really bad. Good Luck though.
