I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google

It gave me perspective on what's important.
Ill never know the full extent, but I suspect a LOT.
I lost one of the most important people in my life a couple of months into being a junior. I had to take a leave of absence, and after that...work was just not that important. Not even half a year prior, as a student, I had won every award you can think of and was ready to put in the late nights and work myself to the bone at my first job. But my whole life and perspective changed all of a sudden. Now I was only willing to work hard during work hours and I could think of 100+ things that were more of a priority to me than advertising or awards. Everyone is still enamoured with the industry that early on, so I def felt like the odd junior out.
Now as an Acd in-house I can say that I still worked at some big name places, but nothing in my book is great. Also no awards. But I was able to heal, prioritize myself and my family and build a life thats full outside of work.
I hope everyone here finds peace.
It showed me who has my back at work. Which turns out to be a lot of ppl. It didn’t affect my career in any way in terms of trajectory
Give yourself some time to heal. It's ok to feel off for a bit when you get back to work
I care less during business hours.

My career is nothing but causing grief for others.
It made me realize that my career is not everything… I should prioritize living instead of spending most of my time stressing about my deadlines and making sure that everything is perfect. I am still dealing with my grief and I just got laid off. I find it to be a blessing cuz I needed time to process… I think I will be in-house for a bit then go back to the crazy of agency when I get my peep back, cuz honestly, I feel like parts of me died too when my dad died.
It showed me who had my back at work - which was no one
obliterated it. focused it. fueled it. tested it. rebuilding it.
