Hi. I am on interview stage with Google for Poland office. Currently on team matching phase, even it is taking too long, already 2 months, and had call only with 2 teams. I am trying to push recruiter, but steps are going quite slowly. My strategic general plan is to join Google in Poland and then in 1-1.5 years relocate to US office internally. So question is: is it worth do it? Considering current and future job market in US, is good idea to join Google with that intention? Are chances for internal relocation high? Or just join to boost career, improve knowledge and resume and stay in Europe? TC: 90k (Europe) #engineering #software #swe #google #career #us #moving #relocation #visa
First join then think further
Chances of internal relocation are very small at the moment. Specially to a higher cost location
Don't know how it is at Google, but internal transfers with full relocation are difficult - you get hired partially because of your cost. I hope you understand how difficult this is gonna be, and that you'll have to be ~L6 for management to even consider paying for the imigration costs + increased salary + other costs. Of course, just internal transfers while staying in your location are typically easy.
What benefit would it bring to business to have you relocate from Poland to US?
Conaidering the case when team in us is hiring, so instead of hiring externally, they will hire internal.candidate just with relocation
I'm on the team matching phase to Warsaw office as well and have similar plan but I'd rather move to Zurich, or other more western european capital. There are a lot of positions opening in poland right now so you should be good.
How long are you in team matching? Recruiter also tells that there are a lot of positions, but it goes very slowly. Zurich is quite expensive though. Is it worth to move there?
90k.. You must be L3 right? I don't think they will do it for you anymore. Of course, I am not sure, but generally speaking, the industry trend is to hire in LCOLs.
hahahahahahaahh, locate to US internally, good one, there is 0 chance of that any time soon, even Google employees within US cannot change teams, also external hire in the US is less fuss than internal outside the US.
Why not both?
Both would be perfect. Just thinking what is chances to get internal transfer
Google encourages internal transfers. As you probably know the job market is rough atm but in a year and a half you'll be fine.
