Of course, but I can’t do anything about it. We’ve had this going on for 2 years, so I expect it at any time.
I keep my resume up to date, apply semi regularly for new roles, have saved extra cash than I normally would. I control what I can.

I'm not losing sleep over it or living in a panic state. But it's something I know can happen, so sure, it's always in the back of one's mind. No one has safe employment in today's world, that's just the reality of it. Someone somewhere can look at a spreadsheet some morning and say, huh, we don't need these people. So it goes.

Totally relate. I’m focusing on budgeting tighter right now, just in case. The holidays are stressful enough without adding job worries to the mix.

Cloud already had layoffs in late September, doubt they’ll do it now this close to the holidays. Obviously on the table for Q1 though.

Certainly makes it difficult to stay motivated longterm.

I have 7 YOE and applied for a position that is L4. I feel as if I’m overqualified for the position, but the Recruiter told me that when they say L4, they are actually looking for someone with 6+ years of experience. Is this true? I feel like I should be looking at L5 with my experience

Once you’ve applied via referral link to a position, does it keep you in a referral pool or do you need to constantly get a new referral link if you apply to another role say 4 months later? Curious since they only last 30 days and i feel bad asking for a link a 3rd time now…..

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K

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!

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
