brb...applying for a new role
Hi All!
I am currently a Senior Software Engineer(Backend) with 4 YOE. My current CTC is 21LPA (All Fixed) with additional Yearly bonus. I got a call from Google (Pune/Bangalore/ Remote) for Software Engineer - Backend. I have the following doubts but any insights are welcome -
1. Does the lower designation offered make any difference?
2. Kinda ambiguous, but what kind of hike or ballpark pay can I expect?
3. Any similar interviews experiences or focus areas I should prepare for?

SLAY THEM WITH YOUR YOE! Kill it
When they ask if you have any questions for them, ask the interviewer if they foresee any issues with you moving on to the next step. (In my experience it forces them to look at you as a whole and give more honest feedback)

I agree with this.
I’ve used this tactic and sometimes the interviewer slips up and gives you a very honest feedback EVEN if they are not allowed to do so (company policy)
At other times, you’ll hear the tone of their voice or their facial expression change and you know you’ve done well or not well (seeeln this played out both ways).
Other times they will just end with “I think you’ll hear back from us very soon” (good news).
Either way, use this question
