I wasn't planning on moving, but a Google recruiter reached out and said they can send me straight to onsite for E3. Planned around early March. Since it came out of the blue I haven't been applying or interviewing anywhere else. Would I be able to enter the loop at Facebook and other big companies and go straight to on-site also? I'm thinking that possibly having competing offers would help out too. TC: 180 YOE: 1.3
Also.. start interview prepping by interviewing at places you don't want to work.. like Wayfair, Walmart, Bloomberg, Uber, wework, quora etc. It's always good practice
Yeah, I wanted to squeeze in practice before the Google onsite, but with such short notice I don't know if I can get any onsites before the Google one.
My suggestion would be to delay Google till you are prepared. I was over confident the first time, and ended up wasting 6 months
Google is so slow to make offers you are probably fine timing wise tbh.
Why would you tell them. If you get rejected by google which is likely (given 10% pass rate at onsite stage) then they would know you failed and look bad? Get the offer then tell them.
Is google onsite pass rate really 10%?
Roughly. If you count all applicants. It’s a dismal 0.2%
No. Even mid-size companies don’t let you go straight onsite. Source: From my exp

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Why do you care so much about skipping the phone round?
In general, phone interviews are pretty random. Probably a bit more systematic at Google compared to other companies but still random. Unlike onsite, Only person gets to decide your fate. And so probably op wants to skip it.
