I think it’s similar! I ended up rewriting some of mine because I think the tone of KH feels deeper/more personal than the overall GSB app, and I wanted to share more about the events that shaped my life, but the general theme is the same for sure.

Hello everyone. I interviewed at Google last month and was rejected after the 2nd interview (non-tech role). I will definitely apply again after 6-12 months but since I didn’t make it to the on-site round, how likely are the chances that Google will reach out to me again in the near future?
