Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. Opportunity seemed pretty good. Had a phone chat. Went great! My last question to her was "what's the comp range, just to ensure we're not wasting each other's time?"
She game me a number. I told her I'd think about it before scheduling call with HM. I followed up, told her that TC would have to be increased by X% - if this isn't possible, then wouldn't make sense to move forward.
She said she'd see if this was possible, reiterated how great of a fit I'd be for the role, and wanted to go to bat for me and confer with head of HR. I stuck by my TC #.
Never heard back.
It's an awesome feeling to know your value and be willing to walk away if others aren't willing to pay for it. For those of you in negotiations, stay strong!!! Know your worth and don't compromise!

Me: but I have an offer of 360K.
... she was in so much disbelief it got really awkward :(
She never followed up ๐ค
Another time:
Recruiter: how much stock will you get
this year?
Me: about 80-100k
Recruiter: itโs important that we be honest in this matter with one another
me: WTF (in my mind)
I didnโt want to get into a big argument so I moved on but Iโm curious how this will play out. Also when I asked for a typical range, the recruiter said he couldnโt share anything and didnโt know the same CA law that says he canโt ask for my current comp says that an employer has to give a pay range to all applicants that ask. (This is for a senior t6/t7 role btw)
Seems like the google process is really optimized for making sure they donโt hire bad candidates out of the flood of people dying to work there. Iโm not convinced I would accept a google offer and I havenโt seen any effort to sell me yet.
Low level c++ was big part. Need to understand metaprogramming, functional programming, how to drop into assembly when needed etc. Also alot of math questions, I'm joining ml team as platfimorm engineer. They didn't ask LC style questions.
I worked in HFT for 6 years before I moved to tech, so I just called friends at 3 firm and asked for interviews.
If you want interview without referral, message recruiter directly on linkedin. They will reply most if the time. Though they hate job hopping. Ie if you switch jobs every 2 years they won't consider you.
