Not sure if it is because of bad timing or other reasons, Google NYC teams currently has almost no headcount, especially for L3/L4. It is very probable that there are a huge number of candidates with positive interview results waiting to match a team just like me. I had two match calls in my first week of team matching but the hiring managers went with someone with more relevant experience. I think a lot of HMs are picky right now as they can choose 1 candidate out of a few hundred. I had to choose another expiring offer and wait for Google team match, as I am a new immigrant. Luckily the interview results are good for 1 year and I can wait for it while working. My question is, with the new expansion plan in NYC (https://venturebeat.com/2018/12/17/google-announces-1-billion-new-york-city-expansion-in-hudson-square/), it is unlikely that Google will stop hiring in NYC. So when will Google likely have more headcounts in NYC? September when intern season finish? Early next year when they set new headcount? Or when they move into the new buildings, which will happen soon (anyone from Google NYC can shed light on when this will happen)?
GCP is burning money. They had a bad Q1 result, Q2 isn’t likely going to be any better.
And thier interview process is so long. Us high level people don't want to wait 3 months. We want to cut the cord to our employer and give notice and be done.
GCP is a blackhole sucking up most of Google ad money. The glory days of G are in the past.
Same feeling here. I regret didn’t start interview several months back. Now, there’s no headcount in MTV or Seattle.
Or NY. What exactly did your recruiter tell you? Did she give you ANY estimate? Or does it just seem like a dead end?
Did you match eventually in NYC?
Anyone have any udea if they always match you?? Or is it something not certain? Stuck in the same situation right now. Not sure if i wait or move on
Level?
Its in gcp consultant position
It’s not only in NYC. MTV, Zurich and other places as well. Reasons: 1) for L3 = school graduation, many new hires just graduated. 2) H1B, October will be the start date. Many teams picked a H1B candidate and is basically waiting. 3) recession (?) a few blind fellows mentioned it. Not sure tho.
Wow someone from Alibaba, Chinese developers use blind as well? 1) But the timing does not add up. When I graduated most people got offer before holiday season. Now is more like the period where all the junior positions are filled by the interns. 2) You mean hiring managers would prefer H1B candidates over citizens and greencards? 3) No idea on this
2) not really. Just any manager who is looking for someone to start around Fall may already selected a candidate from the H1B pool. Haha and I’m not Chinese 😓
