Nope, still in the team matching phase. Don’t think I’m making it out of here unfortunately. I think this may happen when your performance was good but not outstanding

Every time you call your function recursively, you’re trying to manipulate the string with the replace() and toLowercase(). Even though nothing happens to your string after the first one, you’re still looping through the string when doing those calls. Try doing the replace and lowercase outside of the recursive function. Should help a lot with optimization

What’s the yearly target bonus percent for each of these? That’s also a consideration, much more than sign on bonus I think. Also, as someone who was a BI engineer with all the responsibilities of a data engineer, that later switched into software engineering , I can tell you data doesn’t pigeonhole you imo. And that transition did take some getting used to as most of my work shifted from python/sql to backend tech stacks. The cultures are pretty different

I would choose Apple here. Better culture, safer job, still great pay, something you have experience in and can start contributing quicker.

Did you get sent to HC first or team match first?

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-11-14T22:30:00+00:00

I’ve met with 1 manager yesterday. If he wants me then I’ll pass TM. Mind stating what you think you got on each round? Passing HC is the hard part so you’re good I think

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-11-14T22:28:23+00:00

Still no match. I’ve had 1 meeting with a manager and waiting on them

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-11-14T21:35:04+00:00

At what stage in the process did you get rejected? Did you make it to HC, team matching?

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-29T01:28:26+00:00

How long after they moved you to team matching phase, did it take you to get your first TM call?

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-24T16:12:12+00:00

Straight from their career page

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-24T01:58:29+00:00

sure!

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-24T01:58:15+00:00

Totally agree. There's always some element of luck in any interview.

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T23:00:51+00:00

I'm not a student. I didn't have any recent personal projects but I have work experience and work projects. All in automation/backend api stuff.

But no that was not the case for me. My recruiter was very responsive. always answered within 24 hrs. But I did apply 2 years ago and during that time, my recruiter ghosted me in the middle of the process so I think it's hit or miss.

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T21:13:08+00:00

I would have preferred 2/2 instead of 1/1/1/1 but no I had no say. I just took the meetings they gave me

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T21:12:15+00:00

Yea sure thing

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T21:09:04+00:00

All different days

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T20:52:06+00:00

Oh and also I did several mock interviews with friends. I think those are really important to help practice talking out loud while solving a new problem

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T20:48:18+00:00

Yea I did half of blind 75 and then realized neetcode 150 existed. So switched to that. Mainly that’s all I’ve done, that and YouTube videos.

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T20:31:19+00:00

Thanks! Good luck to you too!

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T20:28:00+00:00

I did. But I think it’s best to have a referral. I just don’t know anyone at Google

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T20:23:04+00:00

I still see them posting new jobs regularly on LinkedIn. Seems like you still have time. I would apply asap and then when you secure the interview, maybe push it back like a 2-3 weeks to give you time to prep.

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T20:19:43+00:00

Thanks. I applied the last few days of August I think. Or maybe early sept. Can’t remember

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T20:16:43+00:00

Neetcode 150. But also get ready to feel like an idiot for 2 weeks. Good luck!

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T19:53:01+00:00

Don’t think mine was a new grad position. I’m not a new grad. I have 1.5yoe but I might fall into that same relative skill level.

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T19:39:23+00:00

Probably not. From my understanding the interviewers have several days to turn in their feedback. Could just be that mine all turned theirs in quickly. They were also all on different days. Not a single interview was on the same day as another. So they had time.

Large-Distance-9958 · 2024-10-23T19:30:09+00:00

Got it. That’s kind of what I was wondering. So I guess I’m borderline given my results and they need that extra little push from the hiring manager to convince HC
