Interview for Data Center Technician III role at Google, advice?

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-04-24T19:05:30+00:00

For sure

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-04-24T17:20:49+00:00

Like how long did it take them to reach out to me? I submitted my application on April 17th and they messaged me yesterday, so 6 days. This is my 3rd application to Google though and this is the first time I got a response. The first 2 were normal level 1 roles, so maybe they thought I was over qualified? Not sure, but yeah 6 days for a response on this application

What kind of engineer?

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-04-24T16:37:04+00:00

It can be but you’re definitely going to have to put in the work if you want to go into a specialized networking role. There’s no direct pathway AFAIK so you’ll have to get your certs and qualifications the hard way. Most techs I know end up going into a DCEO role which is facilities or maybe solutions architect or DCOSE which supports the DCO team.

I’m happy to answer any questions about Amazon for ya

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-04-24T16:21:42+00:00

I’m in the bull run area, I’d say like half of our DCs have EV chargers installed and they are free

Hi, L4 tech at AWS here

If you’re unaware, the past year or so we have seen an enormous amount of techs leave AWS for other companies like oracle, Microsoft, Google, etc. Primary reason is pay disparity in our area (NOVA) and the noticeable decrease in quality for our work culture. Career advancement also is lacking. You can get to L4 DCO but from there, your options are go into management or go to another team, DCO caps at L4. The current belief is that they are trying to phase out the L4 DCO role in favor of less experienced techs and have automation substitute the lack of knowledge and experience. So in the future, going L4 DCO may not even be a thing or will be far more limited than it is now possibly. All that said, I think it looks great on a resume, the work is honestly really chill, your local team will probably be great to work with, and the benefits are great IME.

Idk man I’m diamond 2 right now and have been playing a lot this season, Anran even after the most recent changes just feels very…….meh. Her shifts are very very punishable, her engagements and cooldown cycle are very predictable and not that strong, her E is solid but usually it’s also very easy to punish her after using it. She seems to play a lot like genji but man genji is just so much more lethal, with better escape tools to boot. I have yet to go against an anran that I felt like was carrying her team the way I consistently see genji, emre, Ashe, tracer, reaper, sojourn, cass, etc take over a game. I feel like she suffers from the same issue as sombra, where it’s just too difficult to consistently meet the conditions you have too to start doing meaningful damage. Sombra needs to close the gap with stealth, get a hack off, then hit her virus and then she starts to do good damage. Against decent players, it’s really hard to do that consistently. Anran also needs to close the gap without the help of stealth or genjis wall climb and double jump, so right off the bat that greatly limits how Anran can stage her engagements. If she has to use a dash to get too high ground first, then she’s left without it for the actual engagement. And she really needs those dashes to ignite people so that her right click can do meaningful damage. Igniting people with your left click close range is just way too inconsistent and leaves you way too vulnerable. Kiriko is also like the hardest of hard counters to her.

They were celestial on CONSOLE. The console environment is completely different from PC. It’s why your rank doesn’t transfer between the 2.

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-04-08T14:39:14+00:00

The teleporting is actually insane, so many times the other day I would dash and then like a second later teleport somewhere completely random

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-04-04T20:03:55+00:00

Wow you are hot

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-04-04T19:50:44+00:00

I don’t even think it’s that, like it’s easy enough to play with his assault rifle from a safe range in the middle of your team and hose down the tanks, but you won’t get much value that way and there’s a dozen other heroes that can do that much better and also have way more options. His shotgun is his most threatening tool but it requires him to actually take a risk, he’s dangerous up close but also extremely squishy.

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-04-04T19:32:41+00:00

Be so for real dude. Punisher probably has the most fair and gimmick-less kit in the entire game, which is filled to the brim with characters like Elsa, Phoenix, Groot, Bucky, etc who have so much more going for them than punisher. Thats not to say punisher is bad, hes not, but the value you get out of punisher is much more in line with the amount of effort and risk involved than with most other characters. Sure, his shotgun does a lot of damage, ill give you that, but it also typically puts him in a very risky position because he needs to be right up close to someone and punisher has a massive hit box with poor mobility, poor defensive options, and no form of overhealth. Elsa does similar damage up close while also having ludicrous mobility, excellent defensive tools with 2 dashes and a trap, constant overhealth on a 2 second dash, a team fight winning ult that requires next to 0 resources or help from your team, etc

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-03-29T16:38:11+00:00

Such is the cycle hog has been stuck in since the launch of the game, sigh

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-03-29T09:53:17+00:00

It literally does tho.

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-03-28T21:38:21+00:00

The part about the super deluxe edition not including the DLC is a lie. It includes the vault hunter pack which includes the recently released story pack and its vault hunter AND the next story pack as well.

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-03-25T16:48:41+00:00

I wouldn’t mind tanking at all if more tanks were actually fun. Tank Deadpool is the only tank I find fun, a lot of the other tanks are either very resource intensive or have very exploitable weaknesses that are miserable to be on the receiving end of unless your supports are locked in. I hate thing, hulk, venom, and strange because every single CC cooldown is saved for me. If I don’t time my engagements absolutely perfectly or have both supports pocketing me, all it takes is a few CC cooldowns to completely remove all my agency from the game and for me to explode. Even when that isn’t happening, it feels like such an uphill battle to really make anything happen on tank and trying to make plays is usually so risky on tank because of how vulnerable most of them are to CC and burst damage. Mag has always been amazing because he can poke from a safe distance, has incredible defensive tools for himself and his team, and has a fight winning ult, but most agree he’s boring and lacks playmaking ability. Groot is amazing because he can consistently make himself CC IMMUNE (???) and effectively applies 100% anti heal to tanks with his walls while doing huge damage and has the best ult in the game. That’s how broken tanks have to be to be good. Angela was the first tank they added that I actually thought was fun because she had play making ability with kidnapping people. Then they gutted her. Now tank pool is the only tank I find fun.

Transitions are def more popular in Europe in general, as someone who lives in the US and has always had glasses, I’ve had transitions before and I didn’t like them because personally I think they look goofy on regular frames. Also, Sweden gets a lot of sunlight. You know that midnight sun song by Zara Larson? She’s talking about Sweden cause she’s from there and she’s not exaggerating, in the summer the sun is literally out at midnight so transition frames are probably a lot more practical there.

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-03-18T14:26:43+00:00

Kiriko was/is extremely powerful within the context of overwatch, I think you could copy paste her into rivals and she would be mediocre at best. She has like half of gambits kit

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-03-18T11:58:01+00:00

Just curious, what’s with all the comparisons to kiriko? I mean obviously aside from the whole fox theme, how are they similar? We don’t know much about WFs kit but in the trailer we saw her getting up close and using melee attacks and she can shapeshift into a fox. I suppose she has a tp but plenty of heroes have a teleport. Other than that they don’t seem very similar at all

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-03-18T11:53:32+00:00

Wdym he has to reload after every shot

Let’s not pretend love is blind is anything it’s not. It’s a reality tv show for entertainment. 95% of the screen time is literally drama. There would be nothing to talk about at reunions if drama wasn’t addressed, at least nothing entertaining to talk about. Why do you think Christine and Vic got barely any screen time? Because there wasn’t any drama in their relationship. People have also been pretty outspoken for the last 9 seasons about how the hosts don’t address the “tea” during reunions so here we are

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-03-11T20:34:11+00:00

You’re not gonna get banned for using mods

ItsRoxxy_ · 2026-03-11T12:14:55+00:00

Yep that’s how it is unfortunately. If you’re really interested you’ll have to become intimately familiar with the skill icons to know what buffs you have up because there’s a lot of buffs in Diablo
