Bird Interview
- Bird Interview Any insights about interview process for data analyst at bird? Any tips for prep?
- Bird data analyst interview expectations? I work mostly with python, but have a data analyst interview with Bird coming up and it involves an "sql deep dive." What concepts I should brush up on? I've never had a sql interview before. The fact that the interview is an hour long has me worried that it's more complicated than I'm expecting.
- Bird vs Google I'm a senior IC at Google. My current work is impactful, but I'm not in love with it. I recently was contacted by Bird, interviewed, and got an offer for a senior position. Worth the switch? Comp is less (but not terribly) now but could be more if Bird multiplies its current valuations (they'd h

- Bird 🛴 Remote Working? Currently interviewing for a role at Bird. Anyone know about their remote working culture? Any tips for interviewing? Comp packages? I’m on my second round. Thanks!
- Decline after accepting an offer? I had a large tech company offer me a position but only gave me 3 business days to make a decision. I explained to the recruiter that I’m finishing final stages of interviews, so I’d need 2 weeks to make a decision but the company didn’t budge. I accepted the offer because it was the only offer I ha
- What are interviews in Finnish IT firms like ? Focus on DSA or language skills ? I will be interviewing with a couple of Finnish companies like the angry birds company and a couple of others.

- Bird startup review How is bird progressing as a company. Valuation on paper looks solid but I feel it is inflated. Anyone with insights on the team, leadership, growth prospects etc. Also from a technical point of view, how is the hiring bar, tech stack etc.. Considering interviewing with them. (Bird is an electric sc
- Accidentally farted during interview... So I was interviewing at Bird and I unfortunately had food poisoning but couldn't reschedule as I already had to reschedule once. I accidentally loudly farted during the interview and it smelled awful. The interviewer seemed really uncomfortable but other than that the interview went flawlessly. D
- Facebook M1 vs M2 pay for recruiting mgr Got an email today saying I’m at the M2 scope but the team only has an M1 open. Another team wants to interview me for M2. What’s the drop off relative to going from M2 to M1? Bird in hand and whatnot. 5yrs direct experience, about 12 indirect, TC 190k currently.
- Does G team matching phase mean offer I made it through the engineering on site at google and was beginning the team matching phase when I was given an ultimatum from other companies. I went with the "bird in the hand" approach and figured I could always interview again with G. Was I about to receive an offer from them?
- Huge respect to tech recruiters Went through about 10+ different recruiter phone interviews past week and holy s*** talking for several hours a day is tedious job. Explaining WTF I worked on and what I did in my current position and what I'm looking for to each recruiter as if I'm a mocking bird was hard but I just realized recr

- Not moving forward after Google on-site. We wants it. We needs it. tl;dr: a rant I was told two days after my on-site that I’m going nowhere— most definitely not forward. The recruiter decided that it would be pointless to waste HC’s time by asking them to review my uninspiring interview notes. The post-interview feedback was delivered to me in its most common fl
