Kind souls who successfully exited to Google,
Would you be kind enough to refer me to a role at Google!
Came across a role that's a good fit. Would ideally like to target it through a referral and not by applying through the career site.
Would also love to maybe take you for a meal or alike to thank you for it :) Google

I say this with all the respect in the world. Anyone asking if an 830 is reasonable, shows that you are either pretty young and early on your career. This is coming from someone who is not a morning person, and now as I manager I’ve told my team no meeting before 9AM. But if someone more senior than me schedules it at 8 or 830, I shut up like I have in the past and go in with a smile in my face.
Agreed, it is not someone more senior than me but I am new to the team so didn’t want to ruffle too many feathers. It was just scheduled so hopefully they’ll be open to a later time
You people are definitely not on the west coast. 8:30 am meeting seems like a dream to me. Almost my entire team is in the east coast and in spite of repeatedly asking them to schedule calls after my 8 AM, I always get invites starting from 6 or 7 AM
P1 so you try not to staff west coasters at all? Come on, we are good people too :)
Sounds like it's a meeting to prep for the meeting. Its a slippery slope and the cycle never ends. Pretty soon you'll have meetings to prep for the meeting to prep for that meeting.
Decline/tentative accept and propose new time, and see what they do.
I would be annoyed because I do my gym routine 730-830 so I might be open about that. If folks are flexible why not?
Should I complain about my daily 8 am meeting for the last few months? 😂😂
Rather have 8am meetings over 8pm standing meeting, which has been the case before.
