I had a google referral from privacy counsel for a privacy counsel role that I met all the qualifications for and I didn’t even get a screener. Feeling a bit confused. I just got an offer from another FAANG company but feeling perplexed by this rejection.

Google gets to be as picky as they want bc they are the place where ppl want to be. Don't take it personally!

That's how it works at Google, just because you can stand out to a different FAANG means nothing to them really. Time to move on.

They probably just had a lot of candidates to choose from. If you want to work there, keep applying.

Google is more selective than other FAANG. Not too surprising. A referral doesn't guarantee you an interview.

Having the other FAANG on your resume will help if you apply to Google again in the future. Google just doesn’t have the sheer number of openings that Amazon, Facebook, and Apple have. But they view candidates from peer tech companies favorably.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per

recruiter had told me in the initial call the

benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
