Didn’t successfully move on in a S&O mgr role. Thought overall the interview went well. What are the best tips for prepping and landing that type of role?

IMO Your best prep is to have exposure to the business unit/industry in question (ads, cloud, etc.) in addition to nailing the standard interviews (RRK, GCA, etc.)

I think this crowd just underestimates how competitive these roles are/how non-differentiated you are as a consultant.

Kinda seems like there’s not much you can do besides be hopeful your work experience is related to one Google’s core businesses.

Which role was it? Waiting to hear back from a recruiter about an S&O manager role so curious if it’s the same one…

This happened to me too; same S&O mgr... was yours ads policy?

Practice interview responses to common questions and record yourself on video. Watch your recordings — note how you structure & deliver your response, go through your narrative flow, etc. Find ways to improve and and repeat this process several times. Some alumni career services depts might help, too. There are also lots of YouTube videos with advice on preparing for Google interviews. You’ll definitely see improvements if you keep practicing!

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
