Folks that switched to MacBook Pro from your Lenovo… how hard was the transition?

Pretty easy honestly. The first week was annoying because the command buttons are different, but I like it much better than windows now.

Im asking for a lenovo just because im used to windows!

I’ll be in a non-tech role. Still MBP?

Yes

I just switched from consulting (and therefore windows)! I got a chromebook, it works pretty well, specially since everything you’ll do (in a non-tech role) would be on chrome browser!

I also got the chromebook and I haven’t had any problems

How did you know that leaving consulting was the right decision? I’m a bit worried that I think things will be better in industry but that I’ll just be bored / not have as good career trajectory / etc. in consulting I have a strong network of people, I’m good at my job, and I think fairly compensated. I have a few offers on the table and can’t make up my mind - so curious as to what is it that pushed you over the edge?

Trying to decide if it's worthwhile to take a job at Google in the bay area. I didn't research anything about levels before hand. I have 15+ years. Started off the phone screen as L5 (which went horrible), after which they said I can do the onsite as L4 (which went great). But again they said they will only now consider me as L3. First team interview went well.

Should I relocate for effectively the same base pay but more expensive city? Is it likely I'll get promoted to L5 eventually?

Hello 🐠 how long did it take you to get a call from a recruiter after applying for a position?

Hi all. Recently went through the interview process at Google for an L5 non tech strategy role. Made it to final on-site interviews, but just got the email from the recruiter saying they’re passing due to “other candidates that were a stronger match”. I asked the recruiter to have a quick chat to close the loop. Anyone have any experience with this? I genuinely want to know areas I could improve/ask for overall feedback but also keep the door open for a future Google attempt.
