Hi all. Recently went through the interview process at Google for an L5 non tech strategy role. Made it to final on-site interviews, but just got the email from the recruiter saying they’re passing due to “other candidates that were a stronger match”. I asked the recruiter to have a quick chat to close the loop. Anyone have any experience with this? I genuinely want to know areas I could improve/ask for overall feedback but also keep the door open for a future Google attempt.

As with any company, this is common. You’ve already gotten a lot farther than many people by getting to onsites. You obviously did something right.

Recruiters can’t (or shouldn’t) give specific feedback.
It’s possible it’s just an internal candidate transfer, or it’s as simple as they say - someone else is a better fit.

Ask recruiter if feedback is positive/strong to go to another team match or if you need to reapply in a few months.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
