Had a simple question up front that went great, and got positive feedback from the recruiter. Second question was much more difficult, but rather than code the sub-optimal solution the interviewer pushed me to write the optimal solution. I was able to articulate the time and space complexity and even walk through examples with the optimal solution but couldn't finish implementing. Interviewer kept saying "you're on the right track" and confirmed that my solution and analysis were correct but the code just wasn't finished. Rather than wait a year should I go for SETI and retry in a year from within Google? I don't want to keep switching companies.

What's so funny?
Search for extra-terrestrial intelligence?
SETI is equivalent to SWE..
Googlers say that, and that's the impression I get but online they are made to seem second-class. I hear the interview track is slightly easier though?
Don’t fall for this. It’s not. If you think you are failing swe and they offer you SETI, that clearly means that seti isn’t at par with swe and the comp will be lower.

SETI is Software Engineer Tools and Infrastructure. As it's been explained to me it's not a test role. They work on internal tools and apps where Googlers are the customers.
