Is this true?
Hi Googlers and Xooglers,
I am interviewing for a Product Technology Manage role. It’s in technical solution consultant ladder. HR shared a regular TCS interview guide, my hiring manager told me it’s a project/data product Management role. Hands on, if ever needed, would be SQL
I chose R for coding round. Any prep. Tips ?
I come from business intelligence and non-CS background so ok with that. Would I be asked questions onAlgorithms, Trees, Big-o, dynamic programming, etc. ?

I wouldn’t blame covid. All of Google’s products (and broader cloud/digital ad industry) have seen increases in use since covid. Highlight the customers you acquired, ARR, money you raised, employees managed, etc.
Thank you! I guess I should be more careful about my reasoning and don’t focus on why I think things didn’t work out.
Conversation Starter
I had a tech startup 4 years ago and I got an offer from Google. I’ll be starting in May.
So no, a failed startup won’t prevent you from being hired. However, not being able to showcase your skills and effectively demonstrate/explain your growth during that time will hurt you.
I’d suggest really delving into your day to day and writing it all down.
Afterwards, identify the most impactful things you did, and add them to the bullet list for that resume item.
“What matters not is that it was a failure, but what your learned along the way.”
Thank you this is encouraging! Can I ask you which roles you applied for? I’m trying to figure out if product management or something else is the best way to go. Also did your start up generate revenue and did you raise money from investors?
Agree with above, be the glass-half-full type of guy/gal, not half-empty. Also, own it, don’t point fingers. Good luck OP.
