Interaction designer - Google - No headcount
I passed HC a few months ago for an Interaction Designer position in Europe. HC gave me L3... I was told that they usually look for L4. My recruiter told me that my application is still open but first we need buy-in from a Hiring Manager to move things forward... it’s been like 6 months and still nothing 🤦🏽♂️ Does anyone know when new openings for L3 might kick in? Any Google HM here to help out? 😅
It’s very common... just move on
What country were you initially waiting for? Zurich? I heard things look stall in there
Munich, Germany. I told them that I’m interested in Zurich as well but no openings for me neither 😅
Yeah so far I’ve only made progress with London office. Not bad thou
I had the exact same story last year around this time for interaction designer. It’s painful waiting, especially when you want to leave current job. I was just in contact with my recruiter about internal headcount, and she said the 2019 has not dropped yet. Last year it was around mid-end of March I started getting fit calls. But still make sure to do your due diligence into team fit... since it took so long for me I jumped at the first opening and it turned out to be a bad fit..(many different factors) and now I have been stuck on this team just waiting for 1 year to hit so I can transfer...
Is this for US or EU? Not dropped yet meaning headcounts not open yet?
yes, not open/known yet. It is for US. But I would guess the timelines are similar.
Can you try a different team? You can switch later if Google is your end goal.
I told them that i can relocate to other countries, but all I hear is that there’s no match at the moment. However, they’re expecting many teams to grow soon 😆. I really want to change the job and I’m not sure if Google is worth waiting for it... especially that it’s been so long.
