After reading a few posts on blind it seems like if you are asked by recruiter to team match before HC it is a mixed sign ( not quite confident). Although my recruiter already tells me it is really “positive”

So should I treat TM as another round of interview to Ace? Do I need to absolutely win at least one HM’s support to pass HC?

    Wouldn't be the other way around given they can't wait to put you in work?

    You should view it as an interview regardless, because this is what it is. Even if your TM would have been after HC, you should have a HM who wants you, otherwise you won't get an offer.

  • My friend did the interview recently. It seems HM now has a bit more sway into the final decision, when having team match before HC

    I did team match before HC and was offered a downleveled approval (L3 instead of L4)

      No additional round, I work at a start up so I think there was some scrutiny about whether I could work with a large team / org.

      It took about 2 weeks but I had some other offers that might have expedited the timeline a bit

      Team match took 1 day (only did one, got lucky because it was a great fit)
