There. Work on your weaknesses.

You clearly have the skillset if you’re making it to final rounds, just gotta work on consistency.

You got this, keep your head up

If you are consistently advancing to final rounds, then it means you are meeting the firms’ criteria, at least from the eyes of managers / APs who interview you for first rounds.

Final rounds usually involve more senior interviewers so i would say the experience will more closely resemble actual client interactions. You also need to be fluid given many senior interviewers dont like sticking to scripts. Lastly look into “executive presence” and whether you can practice this a bit

Inconsistency with case performance. Had a case I bombed and had a case I was amazing at.

What case was it? Do you remember

I was discussing my recent job search with some friends and we got into a small debate. I stand firm on not wasting my time applying for a job that doesn't post the salary with the job description, anyone else do this? I feel like anytime I have interviewed for a job that didn't post the salary, they end up lowballing me during the offer phase.

Advice, please!A local, well established firm is seeking me out. I was upfront that I was not looking but because he was persistent and this could be something I’m interested in for the future, I had a sit down with him. At the end, he said the ball was in my court and he would love for me to go through a formal interview. The firm seems great, but my current position is 100% remote and fits perfectly into my schedule. Do I interview even though I wouldn’t consider changing until next year?!

Hi Fishes

I gave google silicon interview all 4 rounds 3+ months back, from then they are saying they want to hire me but headcount approval is not yet received.
Last week they said, lets go for one more round and finalize immediately. That interview also went very good.
Post that they didn't call back itself, they have stopped responding also.

Has anybody faced this issue? This I feel completely unprofessional and not really expected from Google.

Thanks
