Had a final round interview at a FAANG a week or so ago, and just got a 15 minute Google Hangout invite from the hiring manager for an “update on the process”. Any idea what this could mean?

My offer with FAANG was the same. After 8 rounds (where I thought I kicked ass for the most part), only to have the recruiter reach out to schedule a 30 min debrief to talk about feedback and a follow up with the HM. Going into the 10th round (yes, cuz every discussion with the company is a round until you get the offer!), I had no idea what the HM wanted to talk about.

He asked me some basic questions on how I felt during the interview process and I responded positively. Then he paused for a solid 15 seconds, as if looking for the right words, and asked “you know if you join this team, you will be the one doing the work right? That it’s an IC role and you won’t have a team of analyst doing the drafts for you.” I’m like “un hun.” He then said “I’m leaning towards giving you the offer.”

Even after the verbal, negotiations with the recruiter (and HM) on the numbers took another 2 weeks.
