Noogler
- link WFH Noogler STRUGGLING I've been at Google for 5 months now (since May), the imposter syndrome is still here. The first three months, my team put me on a feature that a coworker held my hand through. Now I'm fixing bugs that don't really teach me about the system. Motivation to work through the day is not there. I feel li

- vote < 8 month noogler(?) on pip 🥺 Hi, Long story short, I am a self-taught Software Engineer.

While grinding leetcode for 4 years I worked at a few small < 8 people companies to “build my resume” but didn’t learn anything at a
- Noogler Goodies I joined Google India 2 weeks ago as L4 (not as new grad). Didn't receive any gifts, ONLY laptop to be exact. Do they not give goodies in virtual onboarding or what? Not being greedy, but it is a bit excitement of receiving Welcome goodies, and I wished to get that Noogler Hat.
- Make me a Noogler plz FYI: it's a serious ask of a referral. Need to proceed asap. I'll wear the Noogler hat on every meeting until I get a promotion.

- Noogler , Stressed of my manager I just joined google recently as Senior software engineer , Unfortunately my manager is always aggressive , stressed and she loves micromanagement. This is unfortunately not the kind of experience I was expecting at Google after one month of finishing my orientation. I have 10+ years of experience
- Noogler orientation 1) If your office is not the one where you are attending orientation, I know the 2nd and 3rd week are remote to do a project. Can you opt to do a solo project or do you have to work with people remote? 2) Are there "team-building" activities? That is, cringy icebreaking games? I hope not.
- Google Noogler laptop Seems I can select MacBook 13 inch or 16 inch. I believe 13 inch would be M1 and 16 would be old chipset? Sad to choose a lousy 16 inch... Any idea what they are handing out at the moment? Also, is it default to get desktop as well?

The on boarding guide strongly pushes me to pick the Google Pixelbook, but I’m hesitant to pick that one for a few reasons: 1. Everyone else on the team I’m joining uses Mac or Windows, and I know how sometimes it’s a pain to ramp people up wh
- July Nooglers We have lost 15% of equity value which caused big dent on the TC. For some of us,TC is now approx same as in the prev company.. Does Google fix this gap in the next perf cycle? Or at least does Google take this into account in the next refresh?
- Noogler equipment India I'm joining Google India in the next few weeks. I was asked to submit my equipment preference today but to my surprise it only included preference for a laptop (chose macbook pro). Does google not provide a headset and phone for remote starters?

- 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?
