I passed HC and Team matching at Google for an L6 Data Scientist role in January, two days before the massive layoffs. I was awaiting final VP approval after comp negotiation and then the layoffs hit and everything froze. Recently my recruiter came up and said there's still no authorization to hire Data Science positions, but if I'm interested I could now interview for Product Analyst role as they do have open headcount for those, or I could keep waiting for data science roles to open up eventually. I'm curious if any has any perspective on the difference between the two in terms of comp, advancement, etc. Thanks. TC 308K #dataanalytics #datascience #google
Don’t want to sound pessimistic, but I did team match in July 2022 and then my headcount got cancelled. After that, I only got a TM call in December, whose headcount also got cancelled. Google recruiting is just a huge waste of our time.
Both are good opportunities but you'll make more as a data scientist is my understanding and if you passed L6 DS your pretty high up.
You’ll probably make more as a DS. I’m at Google now, but had a similar situation WRT recruiter and hiring freeze. Got fully through HC and Team Matching in July ‘22, a day before hiring freeze. Kept a good relationship with my recruiter and got a final offer around halloween. Apparently, my recruiter’s manager was encouraging her to “let him go” because it had been such a long time with my name on the board, but we made it through just in time
20% difference in relative terms
It's not different almost at all, work is very similar, comp too. I have no L6 reports but l4 and l5 make about the same. Definitely within negotiation window.
Are you guys hiring for any PA/DS roles in your/other teams actively - trying to see if it is worth reaching out to the recruiter to get loop started, thanks!
Not very actively at all. In fact it's just backfills that are covered by internal transfers, afaik, my directors org, 100 some people, have not had a noogler in at least 6 mo.
For google ds what level of leetcode is performed? Is it very similar to swe?
I’m hiring L6 DS at Meta if you’re interested!
What is the current TC level for L6 PA at google? Quantifying if it’s worth the hassle of switching
How long does it take for google to get to you after applying? I applied online and also cold emailed the hiring manager, he did reply but now he has ghosted me. How can I check if my candidacy is active or not?
