Does anyone at Google NYC have any insight on engineer headcount? When I asked my recruiter about it month ago, I was told there was no L3/L4 headcount. I heard from someone who had interviewed a few months prior that openings were coming, and that there was a backlog of people waiting to team match. And during my onsite, I heard that a new office building had just been opened.
If I were to get another FAANG level offer, would that be effective in getting G to find me a position in NYC sooner than later? Would it be helpful to try and find a position myself by networking with current NYC employees and asking them to put in a good word for me with their managers?
Any advice is appreciated!

But that's a good sign if new L3s and L4s have started recently. It means there are a few spots in NYC office and I've got a chance at getting one. Thanks for sharing!
That being said there are L3/4 joining regularly so I don’t think there are 0. Just there’s a lot of competition for those spots.
Unfortunately you’ll probably just have to wait it out to try to get a match, and you may end up having to cut it short and go with another company if you get other good offers.
Do you know what level you would be coming in as? I think there are more L4 positions compared to L3 that I’ve seen (I could be wrong though).
I never had the leveling conversation with my recruiter but I'm pretty sure I would be an L3.
A friend of mine got an L4 in December, but insisted on NYC and did three team matching interviews in January, but they were all filled with internal candidates. I'd be glad to hear if more have opened up in the last few months.
And were you always interviewing for the NYC office or were you open to others?
