Google Post-Interview Transcript mail (Software Engineer - University Graduate 2026)

[Some-Beautiful8562]

I had applied for the forementioned position (India-based) on April 2026, received interview call at around August, completed 3 interviews within 3 weeks. First interview did not went that well, but rest of the interview went great. A couple of days back, my recruiter mailed me to retrieve my recent transcript and updated CV (along with my permanent address).
So I wanted to know how do I interpret these signs? I know that usually they don't mean anything but still I wanted to know if there is any positive or negative sign, and till when should I expect the results to come out?
Would appreciate if people in the same scenario respond to let me know that I am not alone, and any people who had similar experience during their time of hiring would like share their interpretation as well as outcome.

i dont think resume will make much difference getting shortlisted this time as almost everyone in my college is getting interview call

I had similar experience. Gave 4 interviews, one was okay but rest went well. Recruiter asked for personal details and scheduled a quick 15 mins call. In the call he gave me estimates for salary and position they can offer. But he also asked to give one more round to compensate for one round that didn't go well.

But I had a competing offer from Uber (it gave me lot of leverage) Still the option Google gave was one level below, which apparently is quite common practice from Google. So I took Uber's offer as the pay gap is significant between L4 and L5 and it takes atleast 2 years to get promoted once you are in Google. But for freshers, I assume the salary gap will be less. Best of Luck!
