My recruiter didn’t even bother to call me or send me a personalized note. All I got was a rejection email that seemed like an automated response. Is it usual? What does this mean? Am i blacklisted? Can I apply again after a year? I don’t think I bombed, because I wrote a naive solution and optimized it later. The interviewer was happy with my responses but I was very slow This is for a technical phone screen and it’s my first time interviewing google Tc 120k Yoe 1
It means your recruiter is busy.
No this is normal recruiters dont give a shit about u
Thanks all for the quick responses. Love ya
I notice recruiters are getting better with the phone calls. They will say things like your coding was strong but you fell down on system design etc. that’s not super specific but it’s enough to iterate and improve
Better than getting ghosted! (I got ghosted. I took it as a blacklisting.)
You arent black listed op. I got the same shit, they hit me back after a year. Dont sweat it Edit: Though that was for their new grad coding screen. They called to reject me for the phone screen.. either way i wouldnt read too much into it)
You are not blacklisted, I failed my first G screen in a similar fashion (naive-> optimized, interviewer seemed happy). Though my recruiter was nice enough to tell me over a call & even offered to find me a different role.
Yeah just wait a year don’t read into it lol
