I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

I took a year off and I’ve been getting interviews despite a larger gap
Wow that’s amazing! Thank you, Nicole! This is very helpful :)
From my own experience, a month or two is nothing (even though it doesn’t feel like it at the time). As someone who was also laid off recently, I am absolutely planning on taking a few months for a little personal development, but also a lot of going outside and doing projects and prioritizing my well-being. At the end of the day, no job will ever look out for me like I will — and a company that judged me for taking a few months in the midst of a PILE of industry layoffs isn’t one I want to work for.
Thank you so much for this insight! ❤️ super helpful!
