Got recruiter calling me every two months for an SETI role. I got suspicion because recruiter said I don't have to explain why I am interested in this role. Confused, is it testing role? Why they are not straightforward? No interest in testing role right now
Software engineer in tools and infrastructure
Sounds they like picked a stupid acronym then.
it's not QA but you would write test and build infra. Like let's say you join a team of swes, you would be concerned with build times, continuous build status, test coverage and improving all those things. you would not work on user facing features.
Is there anyone who wants to refer me? I was told my last round interview did very good. I didn't get offer for unknown reason and I am not on blacklist.
I mean I interviewed a while back for swe role, aced, passed hiring committee, but for weird reason not having offer. Now Google calls me every a few month for a SETI role. I'd like to be SWE so someone wants to refer me?
I got an SETI interview, I want to see what's the best way to handle it? I want to interview different role, should I refuse the interview or should I move On to get an offer and then not going?
The recruiter didn't tell you about the role and you didn't ask what it was? At this point i would call the recruiter and get clarification on the role and then tell them that its not inline with your goals. No need to take up actual interview time.
same with me . when is your interview ?
Will go reject it. I am just confused about how to get a right interview for a role I want
apply
I have served on hiring committee at Google for SETI. It's possible that SWE HC cleared you, but raised some concerns on design knowledge or CS fundamentals depth. In those cases, recruiters start hunting you for SETI. Not all SETIs work on test. You can try to get a non - test project when you start at Google and try to convert to SWE after an year or so. It's a good foot in the door if you want to work at Google. For SETI, you'd need to ace in coding and display test aptitude. (based on your work ex)

Google has their own Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence search programme? Is it to find more developers?
I was wondering the same thing.
Lol. Makes sense
