I just got an email from a recruiter from Google!

He said that the position is in the Bay Area or New York. I haven’t replied the email. I don’t think we can move to those cities, but I don’t want to lose this opportunity. Does anyone know if Google does remote jobs within US?

I can't focus at work today!!! Anyone else?
I use video when I’m heavily involved in the conversation. Allows me to engage more effectively.
If just an audience member, turn off
Same. If it's a small group or 1:1 call, camera on usually. Any large calls where I won't be speaking much/at all, I leave it off.
I go on camera when I want to go on camera. I don't think there is any etiquette regarding this. Some pple are comfortable always going on camera and others are not.
If it’s a call that otherwise would’ve been an in person meeting, I use video. If it would’ve just been a call, then I call. If it’s a call that I would’ve dialed in for but sat with another person in an office, I use video. Honestly, I like the verbal cues from others. I never expect clients to use video but let them know it’s an option. I also don’t force anyone on my team to use video. As an overall group, we’ve gotten used to video but we were always big on meeting in person so I think that makes sense
I only go on camera for client calls (my client has a camera-on policy for their employees) or if someone Director-level or above insists that everyone turns on their camera
We are all “working” from home. My personal rule is that I’m still a professional employee during business hours and will turn video ON. If you want to keep video OFF after hours or weekends, then that’s your non-work time and there are no expectations/requirements.
The view is a bit antiquated, but that is not the first time I’ve heard it. It’s important to realize that this standard may not be an achievable one for everyone. Your response spoke to me AS1 as someone managing three school age children’s needs while leading a project.
Unfortunately, all our Webex meeting are video and you're pretty much expected to be on camera... I'm talking about 2 video meetings a day aside from 1 or 2 on the phone
Pro
I’m not on camera unless I need to be, ie I know everyone else will be or it’s a one-on-one convo when I know the other person will be on
I’m always on camera so my bosses won’t forget I exist. Also I shower and shave before going on camera
I’m just so done with being on camera. I now usually wait to see what others do. Sometimes I go on to kick off the call and then turn the camera off as soon as I’m just listening.
Pro
I am not on camera by default. If you want to see me on camera, I need some time to beat my mug.
