Creating a separate thread to track the any progress on this topic for this week. My situation: L7 GCP Position, HC & TM completed back in June, Was stuck in Comp negotiation when the freeze kicked in. It would be great to know if anyone (regardless of level, role, etc.) have received offers after the freeze kicked in and please post any useful updates provided by your recruiters.
L3/L4 T&S analyst. Completed interviews and was going to go through HC. Recruiter said mid August is when they’ll get back to me on next steps
Same role, L4 T&S. Finished my onsites mid-July with all positive feedback. Reached out to the recruiter last week and she sent a generic template response saying prioritization is still going on and it might take a few more weeks…
Did you schedule start without signing an offer?
If you've signed an offer there's no issue. A hiring freeze for decent companies they won't ever renig an offer, it makes the company look REALLY bad. Worst case scenario you end up starting on a different team or get re-orged. What happened to coinbase was so out of the ordinary and specifically tied to the crypto market volatility.
Got stuck in TM. Recruiter called early last week saying that it could be anywhere from days to months, she said she was waiting on the higher ups to give the go ahead.
Possibly you will hear as soon as critical roles open up. Did you get an offer number yet?
Yes, I pushed back on initial numbers. They met the RSU numbers the day before the freeze, but my RC was on PTO and by the time he got back a couple of days alter, the freeze was on.
Sorry to hear, hopefully they will consider candidates like you who are in the final stage soon. Curious, What did the offer look like and what is your expectation?
I thought there was no freeze for L6 and above.
Incorrect as far as what I’ve heard. I do think L6+ has a higher chance of still going through after the freeze but from what I have heard, no offers are going out to any level rn.
There’s been some reports of L4 getting offers and moving forward
L6 SWE EM also post TM and HC, received verbal offer right before freeze. Recruiter says last week that her boss thinks the freeze ends this week but haven’t heard anything since.
L7 and frozen. The rest of us are doomed
L4 and frozen. Recruiter mentioned a “holding pattern” and “prioritizing roles” before getting back to me. Supposed to hear back end of this week or next week
Same L4 got positive feedback on interview but no offer and in a holding pattern till probably end of next week. It's currently the closest offer I have so I'm starting to interview at a few other places just in case.
I’ve been blowing off scheduling my amazon final round so i might as well go ahead and send that email 🥲
L5 MLE. Matched with a team and about to go to HC. Then hiring freeze announced. The HM emailed me (very kind!) few days after the freeze to let me know their team is very interested. I am hoping it’s high priority… 🤞 I also asked my recruiter about my interview feedback (to gauge chances at HC) and she said it was all positive, but no specific details.
