Interviewing for google after working in startup for 1 yr and amazon for 1 yr
Is it a good idea to interview with google right now, I worked at a startup for 1 yr then switched to amazon and about to complete 1 yr at amazon india or should i work here at amazon for 1 more yr before trying for google.
Why do you want to leave amazon?
1 has to ask? š
Yeah, it's a spectator sport for current employees.
Itās a good question, and maybe thereās a valid reason you can throw at recruiters and interviewed when asked
If Google is your goal, thereās no reason to wait. Just make sure you are well prepared for the interview and go for it!
Don't wait. Avg tenure is 2yrs now. 1yr is not crazy anymore.
It's just leetcode and design
You can easily say Amazon culture isn't for you as the reason.
TC or GTFO
Google doesn't have any L3 headcount right now, so you wouldn't match to a team. I'm not sure the recruiters will even put you into the pipeline. I would wait until you're a solid L4 candidate.
how many yoe for solid l4 candidate?
Google is pretty conservative with leveling and YoE isn't as important as scope and quality of experience; at a minimum, you'll want to have been an L5 at Amazon for about six to twelve months (long enough to survive one OLR and perform well in the design and behavioral interviews), whenever that occurs.
Its your life! Make it large!
but for career perpective, wont it make my resume scream that am job hopper?
ans what reason can i tell the recruiter that why i want to switch? I can not tell that am doing it for higher TC
