Has anyone moved to Google through traditional methods (e.g., applying on their job site) or is now left exclusively to networking and maybe MBA hiring?

Assuming it’s all networking at this point for most companies, which mine is not very strong nor am I good at it

There is a former Google leader on YouTube and LinkedIn that says you need to be one of the first 50 applicants or you will never be seen there. Maybe it's true maybe it isn't, but the idea is that the recruiters get overloaded with applications there (because they are Google) and that they get enough quality from the first batch of applications that they don't need to move on to the later applications.
