Hello all- currently a consultant at PwC (early in my career) but aiming to get into Google because that’s my dream company. What are my appropriate steps?

What kind of roles would best fit for me? Any advice? Feel to throw them down in comments

I agree with G1 here. I also caution people against making Google some high pedestal dream. There are plenty of other amazing companies out there that are just as good, if not better for you, than Google.
You’ll end up disappointed in some way putting Google on such a high bar

Well we hire people that are passionate about their job

So start with finding a role that you like

Then become the expert (takes about 6-8 years) and have lots of experience.

Then apply

And stop doing the Kool aid thing (pwc one do the most recognizable names in blah blah blah).

In the tech space is all about your ability to deliver. If you dress up things - it makes it look like you don't have real skills.

Don't worry I used to do the same thing with another consulting firm. Better to cut out the fluff talk now

I don’t even work at G but you’re asking the wrong question. You know your skills, go see what fits your background on Google careers where you meet the qualifications.

Found 3 roles that fit me very well and I applied with no referral and had someone reach out in under 24 hours, and I’m in the interview process now.

I recently got a job offer from a company I used to work for that has a great work/life balance and culture but has a slower track to get promoted.

J&J or Google? I’m in final stages and expecting an offer on both ends. TC seems about the same but J&J is based in Skillman, NJ whereas Google is in Austin, TX.

Hey Googlers, I’m going in for my GCP TAM second round on Monday and had a few QQs for you all:

2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google

While negotiating the offer the recruiter came back to me and said "We’re working through headcount planning right now. The position you applied to is closed". Looks like a hiring freeze.
