I matched in early October at an L5 level as Google was coming off of the hiring freeze. Now we are in holiday season and my recruiter said due to vacations, etc I should hear something about being matched in mid to late January. I have been holding off other offers to wait for Google. Should I feel discouraged? Also, once the matching process begins, how long does it take? I am pregnant and due end of January so timing might not be ideal if a PA won’t wait for me to start

I'd suggest prioritizing your pregnancy. Keeping it aside for a minute, I don't see clear paths to how you can start before Jan end.

As far as I have heard the hiring freeze is not over, it’s not as stop all hiring, but they have significantly slowed down as to before the freeze. If they have offered you something, but are waiting I would find something else and then go back when you can. Your interviews stay and you can just reach back out to the recruiter.

So your plan is to get a job and immediately go on maternity leave?

No, IF I would I get matched before the end of January, which sounds like a big IF, I’d hopefully be able to start after taking a maternity leave

What job role and location is it?
