Articulate everything going through your brain and understand that your thought construction is more important than arriving at the correct answer. Take all interviews, not just the ones at Google, with a notepad nearby

Reach out to someone there who was previously at your company and ask for tips. That's what I do .

What’s so overwhelming?

It's kinda a dream job for me. So more nervous than I should be. And looking at other people's credentials on LinkedIn in similar roles and I feel inadequate.

Get ready for a whole bunch of cases (assuming you mean the central BizOps team). Every interview I had was a case (3-4(?) first round) and then another 2 onsite. Make sure you brush up and really understand Google’s business models / go to market approach

Got a burner OW1?

G1 are you ex consulting?

Yeah; joined two years ago

G1 Do you know if most of the business groups have similar interview structures and content? For example, is there any difference between Global Business Strategy compared to Business Operations Strategy?

Google 1 - can we please connect? Would appreciate some guidance on the process.

Is this role with a product team?

No strategy

How’d it go?

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
