Heard congress distributing wealth
155k/5y/sydney I sucessfully applied for test engineer role at G 4w ago via referral from blind. Unfortunately no one contacted me :( nor I got rejection email. nothing. silence. Can I ask any googler for referral once again. Maybe any L6+ or EM from Sydney office could help me (if it matters). Thank you in advance.
Quick update. Recruiter contacted me finally.
Did you end up getting the role?
Are you already in Sydney? I know Goog there can be pretty discriminatory to outsiders. e.g. I applied to transfer to Goog Sydney after visiting the office (from USA) and 2 of the HMs said they were looking for someone already in Australia. Just a few months ago there was also a sponsorship freeze for sponsoring US -> AU at Goog.
Damn really? That’s disappointing to hear. They’re not hiring Americans anymore then?
They don’t not hire Americans. For a while they didn’t. Australia was on some nationalism kick and was tired of companies bringing in American workers for jobs that Aussies could fill. Google implemented an Australia hiring freeze for Americans, but AFAIK that’s ended now. But just because the company doesn’t disallow it now, doesn’t mean hiring managers are up for it. Maybe they’re nationalist themselves. Maybe they just don’t want to deal with visa issues. 🤷♀️ Screenshot of one response after HM said the position was in Sydney and I responded I was open to transfer.
