Part of this is specific to Google, but the rest isn't. I'm employed until April 9th but have been locked out of everything except my email and the internal job board. Ideally, I would begin working shortly after the 9th. Here are a few questions: 1. We're allowed to apply internally to other teams. When would be the ideal time to do this? Now/over the weekend? Monday? The week after to avoid being part of the deluge of applications? Is there a way to optimize this, like DMing or emailing the hiring manager directly? Talking up perf history? 2. My director reached out directly to offer help. I think this is probably just a formality, but I want to best take advantage of the opportunity. What would you do in this situation? 3. When would you begin formally applying/reaching out for referrals, which I believe would coincide? This should optimize for preparation, which is more or less starting from scratch given I haven't done it for 5 years. And anything else you might be willing to share would be wonderful; thank you! Also, here's a shameless plug: I am looking for referrals! In my last interview round five years ago, I went 4 for 4 with my onsites at Amazon, Google, Etsy, and Bloomberg. No guarantee this continues, I wanted to mention it in case you were conservative in recommending folks. #google
Begin right away. Reach out to your network. Reach out to teams you have worked with. Make sure to update your resume and LinkedIn. Layoff isn’t the same as fired or pipped, don’t feel layoff is your fault.
What's your level at Google? I'm assuming swe?
SWE and L4 but practically L5 (multiple consecutive SEEs)
Ask your director to find a suitable internal opening for you and make an introduction to the HM.
Believe me each open role has 60 applications
India or US ?

I’m happy to help with a referral for SAP. If you find a relevant job, please DM and others too! 😊
Thank you! I appreciate that
For nvidia referral, DM me with the Job IDs and your email id
Great, thank you. I’ll probably reach out in a few weeks if that’s okay.
Now that you have worked at Google for a while, Would you prefer an internal job or external ?

Can I afford all these stuff? Rate it for me
Start right away. Don’t make managers think they were at the bottom of list and every one else passed
Thanks, this does make sense. Is it weird or desperate to begin doing it tomorrow? Vs Monday or Tuesday
this is it
