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.

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.

Even trying a case and losing gives you credibility at my firm because you still did it.

Any tips for how to stand out when submitting resumes online to an F50? I have started sending my resume to in-house jobs and it’s hard to even get a response from most listings. I have tried being targeted (e.g., applying to in-house M&A roles and not just any in-house role) and adjusting my resume for particular listings (e.g., highlighting experiences of interest to the company). For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.
