Professional Reference for Google Interview

Jul 11, 2016 21 Comments

I'm interviewing with Google and was asked for contacts of professional references. I haven't told my current manager I'm switching company. Actually I'm not switching without an offer. So I don't want to risk being fired without any offers at hand. If I put my current manager as the contact, they will probably reach out to him before any potential offer is made. Then my manager would know I'm leaving and I would be at his mercy not to be fired. I don't want to put myself in that situation. But wouldn't it a bit weird not to put my current manager in the list? What would be the best strategy for this? Thanks for any input.
