Interviewed by Google and Apple for Data Scientist roles. Both rejects even after the interviewer directly said that I did a great job during the interview. Why would this happen? I feel dejected ☹. I need to move to bay area by December.

My only guess is that there was someone even more qualified than you, even though you sound perfectly qualified. Both of those companies get a lot of interest which makes it so they can be extra selective. If I were you, I would go ahead and move. With your skill set in that area, I don’t think you’ll stay unemployed long.

Thanks D1. Thought so.

I am employed so, will be moving with my current employer. As the story goes, my current firm is not willing to increase my pay to bay area standards. So, was searching to move as a potential option to increase my pay.

What's your background EY1?

Do you require visa sponsorship?

I guess so EY2. The lack of reason and feedback after the interview has been literally killing me. Google guy atleast called me and spoke to me while rejecting but Apple guy just ghosted me without any reasoning.

Visa sponsorship definitely could have played in the decision making, but I’ve also been in situations where I had one open role and we loved all the candidates, making the final decision very difficult.

I prefer to not say things like “you did a great job” in an interview because it can create a sense an offer is coming when we haven’t made a decision or perhaps even completed other interviews we’d committed to yet. If the individual doesn’t get an offer after being told that, the letdown is even greater, as unfortunately you’ve experienced.

I understand and I think most of us who interview a fair bit hit this occasionally. They definitely could have handled it better, but don’t overthink it and keep trying.

It’s an overall tough market given COVID and the recession, plus these are top notch companies that have their pick of candidates. Maybe move with your employer first and figure it out as you hit the ground ?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
