In process of interviewing for a Remote Google role.
Curious if these remote roles are very likely for headcount reductions as that’s the practice at my current company.
Could it be a good opportunity to enter the company and look for a transition to an in office role, or is this a unicorn? 😂

1. Get the offer first before worrying about possible layoffs.
2. You have probably found a unicorn.
3. Layoffs seem less likely to target remote roles, as they seem to disproportionately layoff expensive employees in places like the bay area, NYC and Switzerland.
4. You generally can't transfer before 1 year of tenure.

Thanks!! Appreciate the insight regarding targeting the high cost areas and other comments!

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

My recruiter mentioned last week that I'm going to HC, then called me this week to say that I skipped HC as I did well so "we're moving to next steps".

So...did I get an offer or not?! 😅

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
