I passed HC for L3 at the end of March. (3 years experiences) Recruiter reached out to several teams and seems no one interested. Is it because of my interview performance or it's normal during Covid? Will I need to reinterview if I dont match any team in the next 8 months?
Got TM yesterday. L4 3 YOE also. I think I aced the interview. Do you have location preference?
How long takes you to got matched? L4 is faster than L3 right?
It took only one day for me lol but I might be a outlier. I did really well in the interview.
I am in team match as well! I think we just gotta stay positive and be patient! More head count should be opening up soon
How long have you been matching. I thought the hiring freeze will last for the entire 2020. Did you hear any newest updates from Google internally?
Well we need head counts in order to do team match.
indeed
L3 TM is going to be hard because new grads are getting matched also.
yeah, google prioritized new grad before industry hire
Can’t blame them. Cheaper and more trainable.
Team matching right now
when did you passed HC?
A couple weeks ago, no matches though :/
Never understood processes like this. Why do people want to work at places (and with people) they don't get to meet beforehand?
What? You do get to meet the people...that’s what team matching is for.
I’m glad I didn’t crack Google.
Let me break the ice... I got 5 team matches in pandemic for L4. It's true that L3/L4/5 matches are kinda picky/hard. These are the key points: 1. When you get a match, the hiring managers are looking for culture fit.(they have options now) so be nice and do your homework/reading before going for a match. 2. Be absolutely polite, even if you are rejecting one. You never know when your paths cross. 3. You can ask your recruiter that you are open for any location or org to join. At this point, hiring is very limited and clearing HC doesn't mean anything if you don't get matched. Also the 1 year team match thing isn't a hard deadline, it completely depends on your recruiter. Keep your hopes up and all the best. I know a lot of L3s who got matched.
Locations and duration?
Got 3 matches in the first month and waited for 2 months more for another 2. So totally 3 months. Location: Bay area
