Feeling defeated. I thought I definitely did very well on 4 of the 5 interviews. The feedback was "inconsistencies in code". How can I improve when I dont know what the interviewers are actually looking for ?

    Google is not the only company in the world. There are several good companies out there that solve interesting tech problems. I think it's important to chase impact than the coveted job at Google or "insert your favorite company".

    Before people bring the pitchforks, yes, I didn't get in Google, failed twice, but that didn't stop me from working and making impact at startups which resulted in exits.

      OP's problem is the same one shared by 98 other engineers who aren't Googly enough. One's self worth is not dermined by whether someone is part of a privileged 'club', but rather realizing that it's not the club that's important, but rather what you do in a club that matters.

    It's all luck. I passed G interview twice, both times I totally bombed one question (no solution at all).

      So you're saying DI candidates get it easier than non-DI? Even when measured by the same stick?
      Isn't this against the law?

      It's total bullshit about DI. Just some folks were told by their momma that they're the best and when reality kicked in, they decided that it's women and minorities fault.

    Is that APL in your username? Is that what you were using for the interview?
