Hey all, Aiming at interviewing at Google, MSFT, Tableau, and Facebook soon. Still have to actually set up interviews for Tableau and fb, though. Google timeline is around March. MSFT is probably sooner. How the hell do I time all this? How did you?Anyone have anecdotes or data on timeliness of companies? Google takes like, 4-6 weeks, right? TC: 180-200 yoe: 4-6
Google: say you are having onsites with the others, get the recruiter to skip the phone screen. Try to schedule everything in one week and take some time off for it
Already skipping the phone screen because I work for Amazon. :) I'll try to do everything the same week, then. Thanks for the tip! Since you're here, what's Tableau like? I'm a fan of working with data, so it seems like it could be fun there. Plus salaries look good. Aiming for 230 as a minimum.
I really like it here. A lot better than msft in my case, though ymmv. It did keep the startup vibe alive when it grew that's pretty nice. Tooling is kind of crappy in some parts. But so is msft's.
In the same boat during mid February...
Good luck!! :)
I think Google can "rush" things so you can get the decision to be in ~2~3 weeks after onsites if you tell them you might have offers soon. Not sure if it can go much faster than that though... My recruiter basically said I should interview with Google at least a week before Amazon or MS if I want offers to line up.
This is great!! Thanks so much! I have only *just* told my recruiter I'll be interviewing elsewhere as well.
Did you interview yet for Tableau? Interested in your experience if you did
Haven't yet. I actually might only keep it to the interviews I've already scheduled (Ms and Google). Got very good feedback and am becoming increasingly hesitant to leave.
