Hi guys I had Google onsite New Grad last Monday and am waiting to hear from recruiter regarding whether they are moving forward or not. In the meantime I want to change my preferred location from MTV to Kirkland/Seattle. Is it possible now as I gave my initial preferred location before onsite? When should I update her with my new preference? Drop an email now or tell her when she comes back to me with onsite interview result? I interviewed with Google cloud and interested in same. Sitting on an offer from Microsoft with 2 weeks deadline. Much worried.
HC is specific to the location you interviewed at not where you are going
These days team matching is before HC.
So should I expect interview result prior to team matching? Or every team has different bars for interview results? I'm wondering what is the current status of my application? Whether it is in interview feedback analysis or team matching or hc review?
Don't know the process, but in particular as a fresh graduate, I would never work in a peripheral location. Google is MTV or nothing. Go to MSFT if you prefer Seattle.
Hi @Spar007 please pm me. I want to ask you few questions.
Doesn’t hurt to let the recruiter know. I’m sure it will be fine though. My preference was Seattle and ended up being matched to a team in Kirkland. Think it only becomes relevant during team matching.
Did you get to know your interview results before team matching?
Team matching started right after hc decision. Probably a bit different for new grad though; I think you would do team match closer to graduation. Definitely would make sure you’re allocated to the location you want if you get a yes out of HC.
