Passed HC for Google SWE L4. Currently in team matching. Have gotten a few teams interested and hopped on a couple calls with managers but so far I don’t feel like anything has really clicked(Been matching for roughly 2 weeks). Wondering if I should lower my standards and just accept a team that seems decent or keep looking for a team I feel like would be the best match for me. Also curious if there is a time of year when more seats open?

Coming from aws, looking for a backend role on a high scale distributed system.

    Don’t lower standards just to get into a company you want, keep trying and explain to your recruiter what’s going on

      So interviewing.io has mock interviews you can do with a google employee. These are pricey($170) but I did one a couple months out and I think it helped me evaluate my level of preparedness.

    I think, you might need to describe more on what is your expectation. Wanted to make sure you are chasing unicorns before I vote. :)

      I don’t think there’s much beyond what I listed. Not language specific, high scale, distributed system. I think there are quite a few GCP teams which can offer this

    I was told that Google is closing off some of the teams in Seattle , if possible why don’t you try other localities too , for better opportunities.

    Congratulations on the offer !

    Wondering who else did you meet with during the team matching conversation, only the hiring manager or together with the tech lead ?
