Hi All, Had an interview for a generic PgM role at Google. I think I did well in 3 out of the 4 interviews and the interviewers appericiated me that I did well. I really bombed the GCA interview and dont think I answered the interviewer’s questions correctly. Do you think there are still chances of getting in?

It’s not about answering “correctly” or getting to a specific answer. It’s about the thought process, how you walk through the problem and formulate a solution.

Follow ups are normal, sometimes I only ask one or two starter questions and build the rest of the interview from there. But yes staying calm under the questions and presentation is important.

For me, I had to repeat one of the rounds. They will reach out for another GCA if your other rounds were good or if the HC needs more info.

My GCA interview went horribly and I still got the offer (downleveled but still got it). I got asked math questions like what's greater e to the power of pi or pi to the power of e and I had to ask what's e 🤦🏽‍♀️. Don't worry too much, what's done is done, but I wish you the best of luck!!

I guess they were asking to see how you would react vs. looking for the right answer, but still. I’d be so stumped lol

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.
