AHEAD Discussions

If you could go anywhere in the world, would you hire a travel agent to help you plan your trip or would you do it yourself? Would you plan ahead, or would you wing it? Land or Sea? And if you've ever been somewhere that you can't stop thinking about, where was it?

I received this L4 SWE Assessment link from Google after appearing DSA and Googliness round. Surprisingly the recruiter called me few days back and told me that I performed good in DSA but Googliness was not upto the mark despite the fact that my Googliness round was top notch and interviewer seems satisfied and happy. She told we are not moving ahead. What is happening actually??

Update- I have solved and submitted both the questions in L4 SWE assessment.

Am I near to an offer from Google?
