Hey there,

So I interviewed in March at Google NYC and heard that there are NO head count at that time. l so I gave Bay area as other option.

Its been 3+ months now and its June. I am still hoping for headcount to be up at least at MTV OR NYC.

Have been asked to wait more.

Any clue if this is gonna work out?

PS: I have been told to team match BEFORE hiring committee review.

I am afraid if this wait will ever get over and if I would see the bright light of Google’s offices with a huge YES for me?!

I had an amazing interview. I recall one of my interviewer asking me that Google hopes I choose Google over other companies.

But now I am left with only wait, very long wait. And there’s no guarantee.

Its unpredictable.

Its weird. I am clueless.

Dear experts,
Please help!

    What level were you offered? No one is getting T3 matches lately.

    Had the same thing. Just turned Google down last week. Was waiting since first week of April. Recruiter told me September is most likely time of new headcount. Was L4 and I had past Hiring Committee. Ask recruiter to do HC to increase your team matching chances and you’ll have a year to team match. Also check out other NYC companies that are hiring. I went with Uber

      Gotcha.

      Given a choice would you guys choose Google in Bay area (if given an option for immediate joining) or any other company be it startup/fintech in NYC (since Google NYC needs more time for head count)?

      Google Bay Area generally. But depends on leveling, comp, the work and the company.

    Interview elsewhere and use your Google competitive offer to get a good offer there.

    If by then Google comes around, great. If not, you still have a decent place to go to.

    • I've been wondering if I have any leverage with my Google "offer" for other companies if I have no team match yet. My feeling has been no, although I will tell recruiters that I do have a pending "offer" that is in the works though, because of team matching.
