Google onsite Hyderabad vs Bangalore

Ok I know Google onsite interview bar is same across the world and people dont tend to Bias much. But from my personal experience a lot of my friends have been rejected at Hyderabad office as comapred to Bangalore. Is it true that Bangalore office interviews are realtively easy? Also my interview is for Europe/London office so should I instead travel to London for interviews. P.S. I have no interest in travelling Europe just want to maximize my odds. Yoe: 3 LC: 300 questions level: L3 Additionaly my recruiter is kind of pushing for 1 system design too. Im pretty good at Algo DS, should I take the system Design?

I have no idea what I was voting for

Lol! Location where odds of clearing on-site is max in Google.

No idea dude. Never really interviewed outside US. But all the best.

The bar is never the same.

Microsoft fire_ OP Oct 11, 2019

True! Google is expanding pretty aggressively in India. So the odds are quite good here. Don’t know about Europe

Out of context, but current TC and level at MS? Also, I also resonate with your personal experience of friends getting selected at bangalore and getting rejected at hyderabad. But sample space is of just 2 people. 😅

Level 61 at MS College hire. Tc is 23 base, 10 stocks, 3 bonus (figure in LPA)

Btw did your friends interviewed recently or quite a while back?

Go for system design. If you do very well, it's a good data point for leveling.

Microsoft fire_ OP Oct 11, 2019

That’s an good point. Also do you think the probability of bombing a system design is more or less same as screwing a algo round?

Google wqIe83 Oct 11, 2019

Bombing system design is easier. You just don't know what you don't know. There are lot of videos and blogs you can read to prep. Use them.

Did the recruiter agree to let you choose the interview venue? Usually they send you to the local office.

For what it's worth I interviewed in Hyderabad but all my interviews were on hangouts with folks in other geographies. I wouldn't read too much into it. Hired as a PM
