Starting a new role, G got back to me

Applied to Google a week ago W referral.

Didn’t hear back within a week so I assumed they weren’t interested (my big mistake, I am an idiot) and accepted a startup offer. will start in a week.

Now the recruiter reached out and wants to chat. I’d love to continue the process with google but not sure if I should mention I’m starting a new job, or if I should back out and try in a few months.

What should I do?

Edit: I should clarify - I’m concerned how the recruiter will view me starting the G process having just started a new job.

Old tc 100k, new tc 197k + stock options

    Just interview if you are confident. Forget about getting an offer right now

      It doesn’t matter. Market is hot and it’s better to interview and get experienced rather than worrying about what recruiter thinks. You can choose to clarify about your new role or not. Focus on the interview rounds and not frills.

      Also I am in the same spot as you. I started working for another company recently but I plan to interview with Google and some more soon.

    Worry about passing the interview before worrying about burning a bridge

    • at OP, recruiters make money and justify their pay by findinf talent. He is NOT a hiring manager. In this market, people jump a lot. everyone was relatively scared during covid-19. so go ahead with G

  • Happened to me last year. I told recruiter I would be interested in a year and they actually got back to me! Just had my onsite a couple of weeks ago.

    • Up to you. Sounds like you really like Google so then give it a shot, and if you miss, you have a 1 yr cool off.
