Accepted offer to join F500. Start in 2 weeks. Dream FAANG role reached out for interview. How do I handle this? They do not know I accepted industry offer. If I get through process and FAANG role makes me an offer they will see I have been at a new job (that I didn’t disclose) for a ~month in the background check, will this hurt me? How do I handle this..

Do the interview with faang. The hiring process is long. It could be 2-4 months. By then you will know whether you want to stay at your new company or not.

Best to let the recruiter know. Tough spot.

Get the offer in hand first. Background check doesn't what you think it means

likehelpful

Background check is looking to see if you have a criminal history. Not if you changed jobs.

Just tell them you are staring a new role. See what happens

? No it’s not

It is practically impossible to get ALL offers at the same time. Some time in the process tell the recruiter that you need to start the job and still you are 100% interested in the Faang role.

Sorry to be a little off topic — how long did it take FAANG to reach out to you, if you had already interviewed and taken another offer?

Got a referral a week later recruiter hmu

You seem to already know what you're going to do. Have the interview, get the offer, take the job. If you bomb the interview, or don't get the offer, keep the job you have. Background checks look for criminal records.

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!
