What kind of interview? Is this the first round of cases? Or the phone screen?

Makes sense M1! Do you mind if I DM a couple questions?

Idk where to put this aside from here but: I want to look at grad programs, but my gpa is abysmal. But yet, before I graduated, I was actually interviewed but Google/FB/Microsoft/Amazon for SDE roles.

What would the "industry standard" salary be for someone who has an Associate's Degree/A+/Network+ Certifications, approximately 5 years combined technical support experience.and more than 20 years customer service? Both for interviewing and whether my current job is in the right range.

Is there a way to get around an intra-network hiring policy that says ‘hiring must have approval from current company’s HR or Head of Office’?

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?

I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
