So a couple of weeks ago recruiter told me that onsite interview feedback was good for an L4 and he was going to move forward to HC. However, today the recruiter called and said HC didn't feel like moving forward because I required too "many hints during interviews". It certainly wasn't true. I did require maybe one or two, but certainly not too many. At this point i know i should just move on. In fact I'd originally accepted the reject (because i know my luck sucks) until recruiter wanted to go to the HC as he was pretty confident, it will go through for L4. Is it pretty common that people get rejects after HC? And why is there such a difference between recruiter opinion and HC opinion? (It just sucks. More importantly, I feel like my luck just sucks. Pointless rollercoaster ride since the interview. I mean this was the best I could do. Maybe Google is not my cup of tea. 😭I don't think I'll ever interview at Google anymore.)
We will always struggle. It’s the choice to keep fighting that makes us who we are.
Yes. That's what I hope to do starting tomorrow morning. Rinse and repeat.
There's a lot more to life than a Google interview. It's okay to be frustrated. Just don't pin your whole value on it.
👍🏻
I got after 3 tries over 5 years. And dude you have no idea about my luck.
What’s HC?
Hiring committee
Lol, how can a recruiter get a feedback with out asking hiring committee. May be it’s mixed initially.
Hiring committee
Apply every year, u will soon make it. Interviewing needs some luck.
Most recruiters know little about tech details. Don't take it too serious when they say it's good. It's quite common to be rejected by HC. Move on.
I think most candidates are rejected in HC
The vast majority of candidates are rejected by the recruiter before hiring committee. If you come back with 3 or more NHs, it would only waste the HC time.
Is 3 or more NHs common? I think FB shoots for a 25% hire rate from onsites. Is it different for Google?

Don’t be discouraged. You made it to HC, just tough luck. Apply next time.
Yeah. This was second time. Idk going through the process again at Google feels too much. I want to move on with life and current company. Not that I don't want to put in effort, but I'd prefer putting effort into the job.
Remember TechLead (Patrick Shyu) went through 4 Google interviews to finally joining Google, then FB. Then fired from FB but that’s another story for another day.
