I was approved for SWE L4 back in March 2020 for a role at Google NYC. Four months later, I haven't received a single interview request from a hiring manager. From what I heard, hiring is currently slow at Google, and NYC office is especially competitive. Unfortunately, I don't have an option to relocate at the moment.
Is there anything I can do to advance my application? My Google recruiter does not have any advice for me aside from waiting. I will appreciate any advice from anyone in a similar situation, or anyone who is currently at Google. I am still very excited to join the company, but loosing hope.
My experience is mostly in desktop/mobile application development (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android). But I spent the last 4 years working on distributed systems, built on AWS.

My understanding is that a different city is only an option if I'm willing to relocate. And I won't be able to make that commitment as my circumstances are unlikely to change.
That sucks but nothing to do about it .
I tried applying to other roles as well but the recruiter told me that there is a complete freeze on hiring (last I spoke to him was in April)
Are you interviewing with other companies? My fear is that my interviewing shape will further decline if I keep on waiting. And I keep seeing a fair amount of negative sentiment about Google in general here. Of course, I'd prefer to make my own opinion. But I think I do have to factor that into the decision making.
Shitty times .
