One of my friend interviewed at FB US and got through it with a $180k TC in Menlo Park. While he interviewed at Google India and was sent back after onsite interview (he said). He is from a premier college of India. Is this common? What experiences do Indians have related to this? My TC: 🥜
Ask him if he thinks he can pass the FB interview again. Faulty data point. So many factors going into an interview
Too much competition that is technically proficient.
I know a lot of people who got into google and not fb. And vice versa. Correlation does not imply causation
I mean I saw many people like him, he was just one of them.
I guess due to his college mostly. But conversion to an offer is due to his skills though.
In india competition is very high for the best paymaster companies.
I know lots of people who got rejected by every other company (VMware, PayPal, eBay, Samsung) but got into Google or Facebook. Another guy was fired from my previous organization and been looking for a job for almost an year with no luck but he got one offer at the end and that's Google. It's mostly your luck on the day of your interview.
Was talking about Bay area.
Man, he needed visa to work so its harder to qualify compared to a local guy.
My 2 friends who could not pass the Google APAC preliminary online test for new grad role , got the full time jobs in Google US. There is a stark difference between India and US interview difficulty Why do u think people are doing MS and moving to US, to avoid this cut throat competition in India.
Full time at Google?
Yes , full time at Google US Google APAC preliminary rounds for new grad roles are the toughest new grad exams in the world. U need to know competitive programming to pass them.
In India, the interview process is crap
Actually the opposite, in US it is crap. The intern and new grad interviews are a joke even when the volume of applications are high.
I have interviewed at both places. The Indian interview generally try to ask specifically hard questions in the interview. The team culture in the companies are bad with not enough salary and no path for promotions
Got rejected by Uber, Fb (3 times), Nest, linkedin. In G now
There is more competition in India to get into the tier 1 companies. Getting a normal IT job is easy in India, but getting into a pay master is really tough.
Yes, its easier and there are arguably more opportunities for low to mid pay roles(and low to mid work) and reasonable WLB. They are hungry for really talented folks so if you are one, you can find work easily there as compared to US where the total number of work opportunities are much higher but almost all of them really look for rockstar engineers(just see the hiring bar at no name startups) and hence tough to get into. on the other hand, in India you won't get superb and cutting edge work or even if you do get the work culture is very likely to be very very bad
