Hoping for Google referral
I already have the interview, but the recruiter is still recommending that I attach a referral if I can. This will be my second attempt at Google. First attempt I interviewed for GCP, did interviews with HM / paired with a team before HC, but did not make it past HC. Recruiter told me I received 4/5 hire recs and must have been a close call. Was invited to a hiring event in Sunnyvale 6 months later and was asked to reinterview. Some info on how I’m preparing: - I have two LeetCode accounts (didn’t know about sessions). One has 500+ solved (600+ by EOW), and the other had 700+ solved (but is only showing 400+ now for some reason). I’ve only done a few contests recently, but my LC contest rating / global ranking are 99th percentile. - I have an 80+% pass rate on interviewing.io. - I’ve done every question on Pramp and have infinite credits and a 3.5+/4-star rating. - I was accepted into TripleByte. - I have a “Codility Golden Award (Molybdenum 2019)” on Codility. - I have a whiteboard in my apartment that I practice on most days. - 6 YoE. I’m putting a lot of prep time in and I think my odds are decent. Since I already have the interview, I’m guessing my recruiter just thinks HC will value your recommendation, so I’m hoping for my referrer to be a Google engineer. I believe in my ability to do good work at Google, I will represent your recommendation with kindness and professionalism, and I will earn you that referral bonus or die trying. If you’d be interested or have any other questions, please reach out to me via DM or email (chris at sentask dot com). Thanks!
