I did interviews for strategy and ops for Google Cloud! Interviews went pretty well, and even had a casual chat with the team director. The recruiter has come back saying I am a key finalist, but the director wants to evaluate more folks from industry. What’s happening?

It sounds like you’re a finalist, but the director wants to evaluate more folks from industry to see if you are in fact the best for them.

Just my opinion, as I’ve been on both sides. You’re a solid candidate however not a slam dunk for the hiring manager. He/she want to interview a few more people before making a decision.

My advice would be don’t let them drag it out too long for you. Not fair for you or them

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
