hushed forge
#

wide zealot
#

No, my start date is ASAP

sterile monolith
#

Get*^

Highkey It depends on what you put on the form

wide zealot
sterile monolith
#

I put open to any location as first choice. Did you tailor your team match form to more of backend or full stack as well?

On LinkedIn, I saw a lot of job postings for cloud

#

So I think teams are looking for people like you

#

You have a chance

wide zealot
#

Yeah, my interview was in Kirkland ofc, my interviewer told me that they have lot of openings in Seattle and Kirkland in the cloud org

sterile monolith
#

If you don’t believe me, just go on LinkedIn and look at the L4 posts by Google. Most of the teams that are hiring are either full stack or cloud

wide zealot
sterile monolith
#

I think you should be good. If nothing changes, just update your form. I hate how this process is so hard to find a good team :/

#

And location too

wide zealot
#

Did you get any calls?

sterile monolith
#

It’s stupid….

#

I got a call

#

But I’m worried if the location is soo ass

wide zealot
#

Which one?

sterile monolith
#

I put open to any as my first choice 😭

#

Idk yet, I think my call is going to be taken place next week

wide zealot
sterile monolith
#

My recruiter sent me an email this morning to schedule a call with a manager

#

Thank you lol

wide zealot
#

Great, when did you fill the form?

sterile monolith
#

Tuesday

#

2 days ago

wide zealot
#

Damn bro, that’s fast

#

Crazy

sterile monolith
#

That’s what I’m saying LOOL

#

Probably some shit location 😭

#

But it is what it is

#

Not complaining

wide zealot
#

I’ll probably mail my recruiter tomorrow 😭

wanton glen
#

u should get a call super soon if u put cloud and open to any lol

wide zealot
sterile monolith
#

^^

wide zealot
wanton glen
#

whats ur prev?

sterile monolith
#

That’s my concern

wanton glen
#

they just had layoffs?

sterile monolith
#

That’s what my friend said

wanton glen
#

interesting

sterile monolith
#

If you look on LinkedIn, you can see postings from organizations just open up literally few days ago

wanton glen
#

do you know what org?

sterile monolith
#

I have no idea tbh but if you look on LinkedIn you could see there’s a common organization that is hiring

#

It’s giving 🚩

wanton glen
#

i see, i mean doesnt really matter tho you wouldnt not take google lol

sterile monolith
#

And most of these locations are in Sunnyvale

sterile monolith
#

I don’t want to get laid off after 6 months or a year because my team is useless

wanton glen
#

if thats what u want then go for a local small business lol

wide zealot
sterile monolith
#

My point is I want a good team at Google. So I’m gonna have to wait until a good team opens up

#

Ima weigh my options

#

That’s what I’m saying

wanton glen
#

ahh i see

sterile monolith
#

Most people just take their first call and first offer

#

Just to suffer

wanton glen
#

its all a gamble tho u dont know how reorgs happen

#

u should be picking if u like the manager

#

imo

sterile monolith
#

I’m not gonna be greedy and get the first offer I get… does that make sense?

wanton glen
#

also the postings is like every org

#

huh

#

i dont get that last part

sterile monolith
sterile monolith
#

And possible products alignment

#

You put on the form

#

To match that

wanton glen
#

yes i see that but cloud is also the largest pa

#

and majority of roles are fullstack

#

so that doesnt really tell u anything lol

sterile monolith
coarse scarab
#

yo am I cooked
did r2 on the 26th and recruiter did a call asking about sponsorship but said at the latest I'd know about results is next week

sterile monolith
#

You’re restricting yourself

#

Bro just click on the qualifications of these job postings and you could tailor your form to that

#

It’s not hard to comprehend 😭

wanton glen
#

😂

sterile monolith
#

Idk why you’re not getting my point lol. I also mentioned location matters too

wide zealot
wanton glen
#

i dont even know what your tryna say

sterile monolith
#

It’s whatever lol, just do whatever you’re comfortable with lol

wanton glen
#

i just asked u if u know what orgs had layoffs

coarse scarab
sterile monolith
coarse scarab
#

other concern is google layoff / pip in 1 year - heard some L3s losing their jobs after a year

wide zealot
sterile monolith
#

^

wanton glen
#

i get that

sterile monolith
#

So whatever you see on those job postings probably are not good teams to work for… all the good teams are taken atm.

wanton glen
#

your saying that you heard they had layoffs thats why i asked u

sterile monolith
#

You might get lucky and get a good team

wanton glen
#

i can obviously look on linkedin lol

coarse scarab
#

isn't cloud + devices the worst org

#

for layoffs

#

ive never heard of somebody in say yt org getting fired at l3 level

wanton glen
#

but i also dont think thats how it works, theres not only 100 openings rn

#

they dont post them all

sterile monolith
wanton glen
#

im not the one not getting calls lol

sterile monolith
wanton glen
#

yes but they have their own matching system

#

u apply as general and tm in, you dont apply to these specific roles on linkedin

wanton glen
sterile monolith
#

This is all speculation (you could either agree or disagree) but the way I see it, is if these teams need L4s, they definitely need L3s

#

So the ones you see on LinkedIn are POSSIBLE teams that need L3s

coarse scarab
#

that might be why idk

sterile monolith
wanton glen
#

i start like next week guys

sterile monolith
#

I put ASAP on my form

coarse scarab
#

oh wtf

#

?????

wanton glen
#

i never said i needed help getting matched

sterile monolith
#

lol what team are you on

coarse scarab
#

oh i misunderstood u

#

my b LOL

sterile monolith
#

And location?

wanton glen
#

bruh lmao thats why i was confused asf

sterile monolith
#

Lmfaoo

coarse scarab
#

lol frfr

wanton glen
#

ai infra gcp

#

sunnyvale

sterile monolith
#

I thought you were with us

coarse scarab
#

DAMN

#

ai infra holy

sterile monolith
#

In the trenches

wanton glen
#

nah i was tryna help the other guy

coarse scarab
#

🐐

#

bro i need goog or else im going to ||bbg||

sterile monolith
#

Okay can you help me too 😭 😂 did you have any AI experience on your resume

#

How was the team call?

wide zealot
#

I Need help to 🤣😭

sterile monolith
#

What questions do they ask?

#

In the call

wanton glen
#

i only did 4, but theyre all chill its just informal talk. they try to sell you the team and explain what they do

#

and most will ask behavioral

#

like tell me about a project you liked or most challenging project

sterile monolith
wide zealot
#

I heard it’s mostly them explaining about the team and we have to ask questions through which we need to prove that we’re interested in their teams work and are suitable

wanton glen
#

none of them asked about resume

#

it was like what kind of manager do you want, what drives you into work

sterile monolith
wanton glen
#

nah

#

other 3 were ads

#

careful on teams that sound too desperate

sterile monolith
#

What’s wrong with ads?

wanton glen
#

imo

wide zealot
#

What about the new teams?

sterile monolith
#

What’s wrong with desperate teams? How do you know if a team is desperate

#

Bro I’m scared of getting catfished to horrid team

wanton glen
#

it depends on the ads, like the teams i got calls for the work seemed experimental

sterile monolith
#

A^

wanton glen
#

and ads is very metrics based

wide zealot
sterile monolith
#

Ohh makes sense

wanton glen
#

its ur preference i think you should pick whichever manager you think youd vibe with most

#

theyre the ones helping u get promoted

sterile monolith
#

@wanton glen I have one last question

wanton glen
#

different orgs have different timelines to how soon someone could promo also, thats something you could ask the managers

sterile monolith
#

Do you recommend me lying on the form like tailoring it to ML or AI even though I have little experience? I want NYC too. Is that going to super hard to find?

Because you essentially said they barely ask about my resume

wanton glen
#

i mean i doubt theyll ask, chances are you prob wont get that many calls for ai/ml tho in nyc just cuz they have fewer teams

#

its always worth a shot

wide zealot
#

I was suggested to not choose AI/ML as they mostly hire L4s for those teams 😅

sterile monolith
#

wtf 😭 I’m getting so many mixed advice from people. What teams do you know that are usually in Pittsburgh or NYC? Do you have any idea?

wide zealot
#

NYC - ads and search afaik 🤔

wanton glen
#

nyc i only know gcp and like google docs lmao

sterile monolith
#

I want to be in NYC and be in a good team. But that’s gonna be hard

wanton glen
#

and ads yah

sterile monolith
#

To find

wanton glen
#

ur gonna have to be less picky

wide zealot
sterile monolith
#

Bet

#

Ok

wanton glen
#

u still can

#

just put bay on top 3

#

and youll for sure get calls at the very least

coarse scarab
#

doesn't nyc have gemini too

#

but prob not available for l3

#

might be an extension of deepmind too? idk

sterile monolith
#

Thank the lord, I hope they barely ask about my resume because I have a shit resume 😂

#

But it varies like you said

#

I just have to BS and vibe

wanton glen
#

u prob wont be asked, maybe theyll ask if you had internship project

#

but the talk goes by super fast

sterile monolith
#

This whole time I thought they were going to grill me on my resume

sterile monolith
#

Not bad

coarse scarab
#

ex faang and mostly devops exp here
if i pass hc i will prob get an infra team

wanton glen
#

like they talk a lot to tell u what the team does usually

coarse scarab
#

kinda want yt cuz they do lots of cpp

wide zealot
wanton glen
#

p sure 80-90% of teams are cpp

sterile monolith
#

What signals gives of desperation vibes? Like if you’re experimenting and stuff?

wanton glen
#

or at least mix with cpp

coarse scarab
#

prob need to really probe them around to see what kind of work they do exactly

wanton glen
#

i had one manager asked me to rate my coding speed and asked how much code i wrote for my internship

coarse scarab
#

working on gemini != working on a service that is being used by gemini

wanton glen
#

i think thats a red flag

coarse scarab
wanton glen
#

most people dont want a metrics based manager lol

#

yah

coarse scarab
wide zealot
coarse scarab
sterile monolith
#

wide zealot

#

wanton glen
coarse scarab
#

wide zealot
coarse scarab
#

u can just learn before u start

#

ez

wanton glen
#

idk either basically gonna learn on the job

coarse scarab
#

^

sterile monolith
#

I want to do Java or python

#

I hate c++

wanton glen
#

#

ill gladly learn it while getting paid tho

sterile monolith
#

coarse scarab

sterile monolith
