I saw a hiring manager’s post about a position at Google with Customer Solutions group that fit my profile. I reached out to the hiring manager who liked my profile, however after applying my application did not pass the external screen. Does anyone know why this happened and how can I get over this bump in future applications?

There’s a way to pass it. Check Reddit. You have to choose the extreme answer for most everything. And make sure your answers align with basic decency. Avoid neutral responses, track your responses separately on Word to ensure you’re asking similar questions consistently, etc.

Yes I have received rejection emails from recruiters (from Indian external agencies) in the past.

Can you clarify what you mean by "external screen"? Do you mean your application ended at the resume stage, or you had an interview with an external party/tester that was unsuccessful, or something else?

I had passed the assessment a few months back when I had applied for another role. When I reached out to the hiring manager after I got the “not proceeding” status, they told me that it was out of their control as I didn’t pass the external screen. I am not sure what that means

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job. However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K
