I am a McKinsey EM, with a total work experience of around 10 yrs (3 yrs at McKinsey, focused in the digital practice). I want to work at Google. What is the right way to go about it? (e.g., reach out to recruiters, referrals, apply directly for jobs) and what role would I fit into? (i.e., L4,5, or 6 etc.)

If you get a referral from someone on the hiring team who is really vouching for you I think that’s pretty much a guaranteed interview. Next best is someone who knows the hiring team. A referral from any random person doesn’t hold much weight but is better than cold applying

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!
