YoE: 7 TC: 289k Hey all! I applied for accepted a verbal offer from Snowflake for a Sr. Software Engineering role. I passed the engineering interview, and the hiring committee gave me a down-leveled offer as an SDE 2 (I biffed the behavioral interview). I verbally accepted this offer. However, I was caught off guard when the role was suddenly closed. Are there any other open roles for which you lovely snowflake engineering managers are hiring? I could also use any references. I was informed that my entire team may be eliminated, and I do not want to be caught flat-footed. #Snowflake #snowflakecomputing #layoff #layoffs
Did they give you an offer?
Laying off again?
We won’t be laying off this year. We’re rapidly hiring
Wait. Is the offer rescinded or you are waiting for written to come in. A posted role maybe be removed for various reasons and may not have any correlation to rescinding your offer.
Sorry to hear that. Snowflake recruits by team. Can’t you find another position?
Did a recruiter tell you this? Or are you going by an automated email? I've gotten rejection emails from positions I've been hired for before.
Have you already reached out to the recruiter? I would imagine if you got through the offer stage that they would try to team match you elsewhere
Hi Sir, could you provide a referral foe one of the job opening I found on snowflake careers site please?
This is awful. So sorry to hear.
No it’s just a trick to politely say to you that they found cheaper candidate. Same thing happened to me - passed interview to Google, 2 weeks delay on the offer and they said position is closed. That was back in 2021.
Which team at Microsoft?
This is becoming more and more common. The market has been flooded with talent, and there are likely multiple well qualified candidates applying to every role now. 2020-2022 was a fluke, and it is going to be an employers market for jobs for a while. I wish you luck in your journey.
