Peaceful Protest Hasn’t Worked and Has Been Met With Aggression.
I had an onsite with google last Friday and found out a couple days ago that I passed HC for L3 and will be moving forward with team matching. My preferred locations are Austin #1 and then SF #2, my recruiter said the Austin office is much harder to get into so for TM he’s going to try and get me in front of Austin HM’s for a few weeks before putting me in the SF pool (since SF is much easier for TM). How does the offer process work? Will I have the chance to set comp expectations with my recruiter before I get an offer (assuming I get a match)? I’ve heard G has been lowballing recently and I want to do my best to set comp expectations before I get an offer + maximize negotiation opportunities. I’ve never negotiated TC before so this is all new to me. Unfortunately G was my first onsite interview so I don’t have other offers on hand but I have Microsoft (SDE I/II), Atlassian (P4) and GrubHub (SDE I/II equivalent) onsites over the next two weeks. Will any of those offers be competitive/usable in negotiations? YOE: 2.5 yrs TC: 140k (Shameless plug alert) Also if there are any Google HMs or employees on SF or Austin teams that are looking to fill an L3 or are just willing to share their experience at G please DM me! I’m looking for a back end role preferably but am open to other areas as long as I’ll have the opportunity to learn. I have experience with Python/Java working on back end feature development/distributed systems/cloud engineering (mostly AWS)/serverless computing. #Engineering #austin #google #googleaustin #swe #bayarea
You make sure you passed HC though? It seems team matching is happening before “final review” as what recruiters have recently been saying.
I called my recruiter yesterday and straight up asked him if I passed HC because I heard the same thing and he said I cleared HC and just need to find a team match
Congratulations. I hope team matching goes well. I’m currently waiting for HC results after team matching 2 weeks ago. Since you already passed HC you should get a lot of matches since you already cleared
No, mine is the same. Passed HC and now in team matching
My strategy was anchor high and negotiate down instead of the other way around. I think it worked decently well (186k in durham L3)
