- Noogler choosing between Austin, Houston, Dallas Are the amenities in the Dallas and the Houston offices, are they comparable at ALL to the Austin campus?

- Interview and performance First, I can’t make tier 1 company. But I wonder whether there is a relevance in the less interview you tried, the more successful career (promoted fast) you have in Google and Facebook.

- Is Google now a second tier company? When I graduated from school in 2011, Google was the king.

- Google vs Facebook new grad Why would someone join Google instead of Facebook as a new grad, given that fb has faster growth, much more flexible team selection and team change, better campus and food and they also seem to offer a slightly higher TC(due to prorated refreshers and fb sign on being paid now). The only things goi

- Which level should I target at Google? Microsoft Level 64. 5 Yoe. I am planning to interview at Google. My recruiter told me that they don't hire T5 externally with only 5 YOE.

Many of my friends who interviewed around that time got reject and moved on. However I
- How's the commute from Bothell, MillCreek to SLU? Looking at SFH in Bothell, the commute history in Google Maps could be misleading, perhaps showing post covid commute times. What was it like in pre-covid to both South Lake Union and to MSFT main campus in Redmond? Little one will go to daycare near home in Bothell, so may have to commute in rush
