Hi Fishies! (Is that what we are? I’m going with it)
I just came across a Google Research and Insights role that got me SUPER excited and I was about to apply when I had the idea of seeing if anyone would be willing to give me a referral. I understand (and respect) that most of you Googlers on here feel that a referral is only useful if you know the person but I would be happy to jump on the phone to give you some info about me. It would mean so much! 4 YOE at a major audio steaming service

Hey Googlers, I’m going in for my GCP TAM second round on Monday and had a few QQs for you all:
1. For the RRK2 case study if there is a scenario for handling peak time workloads where the client did a lift & shift of a monolithic architecture, is the best suggestion to move them to micro services to enable serverless and auto scaling features?
2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google
Is this true?

Also interested. If you pass HC is your offer basically guaranteed unless rescinded?
Hiring committee
I’ve never heard of it rescinded. I imagine one of the few scenarios is if you didn’t pass background check.
You have definitely take a day or two to think about the offer. You don’t have to respond immediately.

If you ask for something like about of band pay increase the request goes to a vp. I assume they may reject the request - not sure if they would rescind your offer though
Btw ...you can only negotiate equity and signing bonus. The rest of the items are pretty much set by an algorithm
+1 on not rescinding an offer unless something unlikely happened (e.g. decided to not hire for that role). You have the offer, they want to hire you. Now it’s your turn to tell them what they need to do to hire you and why.
Do they have an immediate need to hire someone in this role? Has the role been pulled off of the career page? If so, I would drag the negotiation out for as long as you can.
Delay responses to the recruiter, ask to meet 3-4 days from the time of communication, tell them you have to finish a final round at another company, etc. The longer they go without hiring someone, the more leverage you have. Going 2-4+ weeks without hiring someone can cost a company more than a 15% increase in pay, for example.
