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 have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

During my job search, I am getting a lot of recruiters asking for me to answer right to represent emails. These particular recruiters follow a same pattern and seem unprofessional. Shall I be aware and not sign these right to represents? Are they a scam? Or is it a cultural thing… can someone advise me, I’m based in the USA

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.
