Hello Googlers/ex-googlers, I cleared HC and in the team match for L4 SWE position. Couple of questions to googler/ex-googlers. 1. Is there a difference if I join before or after January 1st? I want to spend more time in team-match, wrap things up here and take a vacation before I quit here. I read somewhere (prod Blind) that you wouldn't be considered for bonus and perf review if I join after Jan 1st. Is that true? 2. Is there a slowdown in hiring in Seattle currently (Anywhere around Seattle area is good: Kirkland, Fremont, SLU, Bellevue etc). The match is going slowly and my recruiter mentioned that I could get a lot of teams if I'm willing to move to Bay area. I have 4 years at AWS, so was expecting many matches in GCP given GCP is expanding. 3. Any general tips or recommendations while going through team-match? Also if anyone looking for L4 SWE for backend positions, please hit me up. Thanks. @Google
Try to find another offer in the meantime. Otherwise there is a good chance for low ball offer. Having another offer will also put pressure on recruiter to move faster with team match. And like another person correctly said, join before end of year for refreshers.
Yeah, I got one competing offer for now. I pushed on-sites with others to later, just to be safer. Didn't want to hit deadlines with all other offers while G's team-match dragged on.
What was your starting comp at G and how much of the 400k is appreciation?
Wrong thread? Or are you from the future, if so yay I hit 400k!!! :)
Definitely join before January or you’ll miss a whole year of refreshers. Stupid policy. You should be able to find a team before that for sure if open to cloud teams.

Join before Jan 1st for the first year refresher.
This —-^
Thanks! And that first year refresher is in 2020 Jan right? And if I join after December, it would be Jan 2021. Correct?
