How many levels of interviews are there at FAANG companies and what are they?

At google: role related knowledge - depends on the role, but at least one; googlyness and leadership - think of behavioral and cultural fit; general cognitive ability- just general questions tailored for the role.

Amazon: phone screen, followed by in-house (currently video). Steps are only duplicated if it's determined that the candidate may be a better fit for a different role; for example, I did two screens because the first focused on high-level programming and I was then recycled into a loop for an org that needed low-level engineers.

Excuse the diversion but what is FAANG?

And some other similar companies are not in the list as they can’t find a good acronym I assume. E.g. Microsoft, eBay, Salesforce

At Google you'll usually have a resume screen with a recruiter followed by a phone or virtual interview with a member of the team you've applied to, and then finally a series of three to four+ final round interviews

At FB it depends on the role but typically it's 1) Phone screen with recruiter 2) VC interview 3) on-site (now all VC) series of interviews (~3 or 4)

To add another data point: for my non-eng/non-PM role it was basically (1) + (3), prior to COVID so the on-site was actually on site

Hello Fishes

Recently i was scheduled for an EY GDS interview on 5th of November but no one showed up and interview did not take place , what is it mean?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

Please help! I’m a CRC who manages Investigator- led clinical research projects and I want to transition to a PM role in industry (I would slightly prefer not a PM role in clinical trials since I don’t have clinical trial experience.) I’ve applied to PM roles at many biotech companies (e.g. Charles River, ICON, Paraxel) but only got 1 interview which didn’t work out. Which companies should I look to for an entry level PM role? Any good startups to consider? Anyone have any insight or advice?

Recruiter from Amazon reached out for a phone screen for a L7 role st Amazon - Principal Product Manager, Technical. I'm a first year M and have been in consulting mostly. I do have the technical expertise the role requires but no product management experience per se. Think L7 at Amazon for me is a reach. My concern is if I interview and fail, I will be barred from interviewing from another role for 6 to 12 months. Should I give it a shot or save my chance for something more realistic (e.g. L6)?

I have an interview for a LTC/Rehab Nurse Manager, Infection Preventionist position next week. My base salary is $40/hour as a charge nurse.

How do I leverage that to avoid a pay cut. Also, any tips from people in this position?
