How easy is it to get a rotation at Google? I’m still in the stages of applying, but I’d like to ultimately transfer into something different than my current skill set. I figure it is easier to get a job that aligns exactly to my current skills sets, then transfer internally with a rotation.

Not as easy as you'd think. Personally, I'd keep trying to get into the role you want to be in. Product roles are in high demand, even internally, and very very hard to transfer.

Unless you're ok for it to be a 3-5yr plan to rotate into the role you are looking for.

@op - You never feel ready to apply to google. Even the people that breeze through the hiring process feel inadequate in the moment. Just apply and see what happens. I swear this process is not as hard as you think

It really depends on what you where you want to transfer to and where you are starting.

For example - let's say you want to jump to Product.
If you are a generalist - its a hard jump. If you are in the security,data, networking specialty groups and want to transfer into a Security, Data, Networking product the jump is much easier.

That being said - you need about 2-3 years to build up the reputation to have the ability to jump.

Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.
