Databricks: worth interviewing?

Pretty bored at Google with the slow pace. L4 with 330k TC @ 5 YOE. A DB recruiter reached out. Is it worth interviewing there now, or is it too late? Also how difficult are the interviews?

We’re all too stupid to work anywhere else.

Glad you can admit it - if not to a no-name like me, but to your colleague.

I feel like I did well on the tech screen but still got rejected

If your bored sure. But know they are not public and they won’t IPO anytime soon.

Databricks folks are built different.

Interviews weren't too bad. Reference check and Hiring committee were brutal though.

What do you mean reference check is brutal

Databricks pSov55 Aug 15, 2023

We do front door and back door reference checks

Depends on what you mean by “worth it”. Is it too late to become a multi-millionaire like some of the early folks? Absolutely. Interview process is known to be quite a grind

Is the ROI on exit worth the interview grind?

Databricks pSov55 Aug 15, 2023

For me, it was. Increased TC by more than 50%, maintained base

Just try, can't hurt

It can, these guys have been known to reach out to folks without your knowledge.
