Man.. Studied for 2 months for @Google interview passed by Hiring Comittee and was ready for the life changing opportunity. However Google Recruiter calls me to tell me that the slow down and freeze has created only a limited number of opportunities and that it will be tough to find a Team Match at this time. He said that I have until mid August to find a Team Match however things are not looking good given our economic state and to be prepared for an unwanted outcome. This feeling sucks when you worked so hard finally get to the point where you achieved your ultimate goal and it’s taken away from you. However #engineering Don’t really understand why I only have until August because I heard Googles policy is that your allowed a year interval to find a team match before you need to reinterview but what can you say when they have made their decision. If anyone can please provide any referral for a Team Match at Google for an L3 Software Engineer it would be much appreciated. Obviously I understand it’s unlikely to figure things out at this time but I don’t think making an attempt to network and possibly situation will hurt. Regardless to what ever happens will wait for the market to pick back up, get back on my leetcode grind and figure it out like always. Wish everyone the best of luck in this tough job market because it’s not easy #google #Hiringfreeze #teammatch #hiringfreeze #Thissucks #engineering #software #swe
This jives with the vibe I’ve been getting from the Big G. Got an offer, but it was incredibly low ball, as if they just didn’t want to admit a hiring freeze
Level and offer?
at least you got an offer. I would’ve taken anything given that I’m not in FANG yet
It fucking sucks man.. investing months into preparation, postponing all trips and parties, saying no to all get togethers and functions, all to get played by luck in the end.
Yeah bro. But that’s life. You always have to pick yourself up after these situations. Going to relax until market picks back up and get back to the grind when the time is right
I’m in the same boat as you. Passed HC and got a call from my recruiter saying there is a 2 weeks pause to review. I wonder what the odds are after the review. But they seem slim to none to me.
Prayers that you get through bro 🙏🏻🙏🏻 hopefully everything works out
Yeah I'm in the same fucking boat. Sucks to work so hard for nothing. My recruiter said my interviews are valid until next June. So I guess I'll just wait.
Man at least your recruiter is interested in giving you the year interval mine is saying he doesent want to bother after August
Dm for Meta referral. We’re still hiring in MLEs
Honestly don’t know much about Machine Learning. So I don’t think I would be the best fit. Do they have Junior level back end roles?
It's okay man you learned a lot and you're more prepared in the future. Could I dm you to learn about the types of problems you got?
Yes Siri send over the dm. But I can’t give you the specifc questions because of my NDA
