Do candidates compete against each other at big tech companies ?
Hey folks, so suppose a candidate is invited to on-site at, say, Google. Is that candidate in reality competing against a number of other candidates or meeting the hiring bar -individually- is the only requirement for that candidate to get the job ? TC: None
Two men enter, one man leaves
In Google, at on-site youโre not so much competing with others but you really are. The competition begins when all the people pass the bar will in team matching. Since you only get a 30 minutes call with the hiring manager, your onsite performance influence if you will be pick by the manger to get the call and the final outcome
Let's put it this way: if another candidate turned down their offer, the chances of it affecting your outcome would be miniscule.
This is survival of the fittest buddy
