Since the beginning of my undergrad, I always wanted to work in Google, I like the innovation that google (or alphabet) is doing as a group. Since FAANG companies are those which brings the new technology and tech innovations into the world, and I wanted to be part of that, but I couldn't crack the interview in my last 2 attempts.
I have appeared in Google twice, first time I was rejected in phone screen and second time I got rejection in on-site interview.
I would like to know how to prepare to ace the Google interview and start working there.
Along with being part of such good teams, of course TC, stocks, benefits and overall WLB is important and as what I heard and read that it's really good at Google.
So any advice, how to prepare for it? I am doing LC everyday but is there any specific approach I should follow? How much LC questions should be enough for being confident in the interview? And how long should I prepare before applying for the role
TC: not even ๐ฅ it's more like mustard seed.
YOE: 6yrs

Just keep interviewing some of the best companies and you'll get into one eventually
2nd time, I genuinely felt I did a great job and would definitely get it. Got a call 1 week later saying I did not make it.
This time, my interviews was so easy, like LC easy-medium level. So, Iโm not sure anymore. But, I always wanted to go to google too, and it is finally happening.
So, good luck to you ๐
Also, curious to know what the TC is at Seagate?
How would you define "right prep"?
I solved a lot of problems, but still not sure if I am doing it right.
I can't imagine to think that Google interviews are easy
The behavioral interview, also called googleyness interview, is important to assess leadership skills which can make the difference between L5 and L4
Also practice system design questions, where it will be important to call out any tradeoffs between the ideal solution and the actual implementation
My take away from my last rejection is that I didn't do enough Google tagged leetcode questions.
Assuming you already did the Blind Top 75, I'd say focus on Google's top rated questions and go through the mediums, and hards (some easies as well). Try to focus on the different patterns and see what you're still lacking in or may not have been exposed to yet. For me I've been focusing on dynamic programming and more in depth breadth first problems.
From all the posts, and my own experience, Google really likes asking Graph related questions and sometimes math related questions (I was pretty weak on the latter).
