Is it routine for Google to always ask for references after final round?

Usually references are in preparation for Hiring Committee. It’s completely standard.

How soon after the final round was this

With references you mean for example letters from previous employers?

A reference is the contact info of someone who can attest to your work style, ethic, and skills. Former bosses or close teammates work well for this. Always ask before just submitting their info so they can prepare for a call/email.

I didn’t get asked. Is it part of the background check ?

They asked me internal references before HC

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me.

2. Is that enough to live a comfortable life in Amsterdam Zuid?
