I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

You can't counter it because "too senior" and "overqualified" are standard corporate culture rejection code for too old or too expensive. They can hire someone younger who will be happy to do the work for 30% less pay.
You don't. I hear the same thing all the time. The person they hire will probably be there 2-3 years and I would be there 4 or more.
It usually has more to do with the manager afraid for their job.
On point with managers being afraid of their job. My uncle has a master's degree, got hired for a job and his manager had an associate degree. Long story short, he went to work one day and someone had messed with his work and changed things to make it seem like he'd stolen or something.
He already was being treated poorly when they found out that he's got a higher certificate, so he had to quit.
It's gotten to a point where almost everyone has to lie just to get a job. Either overinflate or under inflate qualifications based on what the job description says
Tell them to kiss your ass and get off your lawn?

They want someone who will stay for a long time and not use it as a stepping stone I think

@NetZero, Inc 1 Not if it's a senior person doing junior work.
No need to counter brain damage. If someone said that to me I would walk out laughing.
