I'm an Indian currently working in Amazon UK. I am frequently getting calls from Google HR in India (Given my leetcode prep and very ambitious hiring in Google India, I believe my chances are really good). However I want to stay in Europe and want to quit Amazon (due to fear of PIP every now and then) and join Google (better wlb, less stress and better brand name). Given that Google is hiring very less in Europe (other than Poland) and very high in India.. what should I consider? Is it a risk to interview for Europe locations and get rejected because of high supply and low demand? For India, I definitely see a lot of not so talented folks getting in during this period of very high demand. I have heard COL/salaries are very low in Poland, also it's not a good place to spend your time. TC: 108k GBP/L5
How is UK?
It's nice

I believe your chances in Europe and India both will be same. G infact has the highest demand here in India. What i would worry about is finding an opening or a good team. Which level are your targetting? Your yoe?
5yoe.. targeting level 4, but would try for 5.. I'm ok to delay a team match.. I wonder if I do not get matched in sometime.. but HC accepts me.. can I ask a recruiter in India to get me a team match there?
I'm not sure. But I know hc approval is valid for an year. So if things aren't working out here, you can ask them to find a team in India
What are leetcode stats??
536 total accepted, 128 hard, 72 easy, 5 months
Not sure if Google ambitious hiring part is true. I know it was a bit true last year when it was ramping up its GChips hiring and new campus. BTW where is 108k TC on L5 band in Amzn? More towards higher end? Also why targeting only Google? Fbk, Uber In EU pay good too but not as high as Google maybe but worth it if you want to stay there
Makes sense.. but after working at Amazon, I'm tired of such shitty work culture. I have heard not so good reviews about Uber too. Also Uber in Amsterdam don't have much good teams. I know there are few in Uber eats in Denmark but I'm not very interested in them.
Google is hiring ambitiously in India and Warsaw for sure.
@op I recently got a call from Google for Warsaw/Wroclaw location. Currently my TC in India is 26 LPA. Google salary for Poland location is base - 140k polish zlotty, 15% bonus,40k stocks. Is it worth to move to Poland?
Level at Google?
Try for amzon usa visa. Its best
Where all Google has developer presence apart from Poland? Is London office any good?
It's good, but it's not growing.
btw how are people getting calls from recruiters from Google etc. I am not getting any \:

I see no harm in going back to India, to work at Google and probably find your way back to Europe or US. Zurich can be a good option? Poland, not so much. Btw, How do they notice your leetcode prep?
Thanks for reply.. They noticing me and leetcode are independent. I have interviewed with them before twice with borderline reject both the times (last time I even had a team match).. I believe the recruiters are following up from there.
One thing I see is.. with Indian office my salary would be less than what I would have in UK/Zurich
