Long story short I interviewed for a TAM role at GCP. Was told the feedback is awesome and they wanted me to speak to the hiring manager of the team.

Fast forward a few days the recruiter reaches back out to me and says the role that I applied for was already filled while I was interviewing. But they expected more headcount in the new year.

Now the recruiter is connecting with another hiring manager in a different geographical location to see if the hiring manager is interested in taking me on his team and letting me work remotely.

The question is am I being strung along or is the recruiter actually trying to do something? Has anyone else run into this issue what was the outcome?

Any advice would be appreciated.

      Congrats!!! Btw, I am currently interviewing for the GCP TAM role as well and will be doing RRK1. If you don’t mind, would you be able to recommend me what resources you used to study for the technical stuff? This would be very helpful. Currently, I am watching Jeff H Sipe’s YouTube channel but would like to know from your experience what resources would be best for the Technical portion. Thank you in advance!

    Quick update spoke to a hiring manager last week sent two follow up emails to the recruiter and finally got a response today. And the response is...

    I wasn't able to connect with the HM yet. It's just nuts because my interview loop was almost 3 months ago.

      Yes he reached out to another Hiring manager who just filled the role. So he's going to reach out to another HM. I'll keep you posted.

    Outcome is you keep waiting.. No recruiter bother about you.. They only bother for their commission. Look for another role in GCP or elsewhere. Process starts fresh

      Maybe true at other places but not true at Google. Recruiters at Google are in house and do not work on commission. Recruiters here truly try to find other teams for you if the original role got taken away.
