Many Googlers apply 2+ times before getting hired. Try again in a few months. Sometimes it’s skill, sometimes it’s plain old timing.

Kindly, don’t view Google as an end-all-be-all. There are many great companies out there that are as good, if not better, than Google.

What role did you interview for?

Any clues from the interviewers?
During my onsites I could notice when I was not doing well.

Move to a more cloud or product friendly company

Spend a few years and then apply again.

Either that or aim for another role and then try to transfer 2 years later

You can transfer after 1 year but it takes 2-3 years to develop the reputation and experience to move to a more sought after position.

It's not like you join and can then move to whichever position you want

I have a face to face interview tomorrow and was wondering what the thoughts were wearing a nice knitted sweater instead of a blazer for an interview.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received.
