A Google recruiter reaches out every year to see if I’m open for a SETI role. I wanna transition to an SWE. I am an SDET currently, but can understand our dev teams code and fix bugs if asked to. I feel Like I have a good grip of our architecture as well. I really want to be a developer. Can I just ask them for an SWE interview instead of a SETI interview?
That's weird, we deprecated SETI role two yrs ago. People are all SWEs now at Google.
Thank you. That’s nice to hear actually. I wanna be an SWE. Started LCing a month ago and finding it difficult to solve LC Mediums. Hoping to get better and interview at Google in November!
I did internal transfer to swe back in other company so im swe now. And companies only reach out to me for swe role now. Hows internal transfer at oracle?
I guess it’s possible in Oracle. I just don’t think my manager is ready to let me go internally. Also I’m on a VISA and I’ve seen my manager to be vindictive at times! So just wanna look elsewhere and not bother with the internal politics at Oracle.
From my exp internal transfer was the easiest route to switch to swe from testing
tell me SETI is not Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.
It’s not.
I think they transitioned all SETI roles to SWE roles some time back
