2 years of experience at BCG post-undergrad. Interviewed for the biz ops team and was told they thought I was a great fit for google, but just didn’t have enough tech experience at this time. I believe this was because I struggled in one of my case interviews. What other roles could I look at at google with my experience level?

Something similar happened to me. 3 YOE and got to the final round 3 times at google last year but always lost out to someone with more experience or with tech experience (this was when I was still in consulting).

You just have to keep an eye out for roles with that 2-4 YOE benchmark. Roles <4 YOE are pretty rare so you just have to check the careers site religiously. Since not all of them will be BizOps or s&o related.

Was your case general tech-based? Or do you think they were concerned with your answers about tech?

Don’t think it was related to my answers about tech - the case I struggled on was about the ad payment mechanisms. I just didn’t have a ton of knowledge on it beforehand so it made it more difficult for me to structure my approach to the problem. Taking the time to read up on it more now!

As the person above said....roles with your experience are slim.

Try applying for a similar role in a different area.

Either that or move to a more tech company like slalom and round out your gaps

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job. However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?
