How easy / common are internal transfers at Google? What about transitioning into roles you don’t have direct experience in and would be considered a career pivot? I’m able to get interviews in the strat&ops org but it is not where I want to be long term.
How hard would it be to move to something like sales, business development, product management? Honestly, I’m just looking to move to something that is better paid and more interesting than strat&ops

Possible and doable but a lot depends on your manager. If you stay for 2ish years and have a strong network you can do anything.

Here too. Esp in cloud. I don’t want to paint it as easy, but there are a lot of avenues to build a strong profile over time. I am a year in and I shot myself in the foot by attempting a rotation. But then there are tons of managers that I know who will sponsor me for a transfer. Ymmv

Did anyone on here quit their consulting job before searching for their next job? Would love to hear others’ perspectives.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
