Hi Blind, I recently had a phone screen for IC3 (Senior) SWE at Roblox. I got feedback that although I did technically pass the interview bar, I did not pass the team's bar (hiring manager rejected though I never interviewed with him). Recruiter mentioned that since I did technically pass, he would pass forward my profile to other teams/recruiters for review. Has this happened to anyone in the past? Is their any potential for me to move on? Should I start reaching out to connections to find a prospective team? I would really love to join Roblox. Blind tax: TC: 400k (due to stock pop) YOE : 3 #roblox #phonescreen #interview
It happened to me, I was passed to other teams and was eventually hired.although yoe for me is significantly greater and I’m ic4
Did you apply to other positions or did the recruiter passing your profile actually help. Also how long did it take you from your initial rejection to matching with another team?
Recuriter passed my profile to other teams. Took about a week if I remember correctly.
YOE is a concern. If all the seniors are having 5-8 YOE and you come in with just 3 then won't it upset the existing team members and make them feel like shit. I have personally observed that YOE is a filter used to maintain team dynamics so that everyone is happy and not hurt.
Lot of assumptions
It kinda makes sense but that’s the case everywhere though. Like I am currently L5 at Amazon and there are people on my team with 7+ years also at L5. My recruiter mentioned that since the scope of projects I am leading at Amazon is high IC3 would be appropriate
