Has anyone returned to Google after spending some years in other companies? Do you get any advantage in interviews while returning?

I did Google to B-school to consulting and back to Google. For interviews, you're treated as an external hire. Biggest difference is internal hires do not get tested on GCA or googleynees in internal role interviews because you're already in. Externals have to pass that bar again (I.e. no cases for internal interviews). In practice though, you know way more about the business than other externals in case questions, if you have a good relationship with old managers they can reach out on your behalf, and I even interviewed with someone I knew from my time at Google, which has to help in the candidate decision conversation if you did good work with them before. I was able to come back on the higher end of the target level for the role, and I definitely felt more comfortable in case questions knowing the business well than I did in other cases at companies where I had no background. Happy to chat further if you have additional questions!

Thanks for the information! :)

Happy to help! I will say it's still a multi month, stressful process to get back in, but I think it's better than being a total newcomer if you have referral support and support of prior managers.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
